Listen Later

When I was a teenager in eastern Pennsylvania in the 1960s I was a dedicated reader of Sing Out! Magazine. I couldn't always afford to buy it but the music store where I took guitar lessons let me read each new issue as I waited for my bus ride home. I also lived for the reprints from Sing Out! and that's where I first heard of Woody Guthrie. I read of his passing in the pages of Sing Out! in 1967. Elektra Records has released “Home in this World,” a collection of new renditions of some of his Dust Bowl Ballads. Selections from that CD, classic versions of Woody's songs and songs about Woody Guthrie … this week on the Sing Out!
