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 a copy 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 on the reprints from Sing Out! and usually bought them when they came out. Those pages are where I first heard of Woody Guthrie. I already had an LP of some of his classic recordings and was aware of Bob Dylan's “Song to Woody” when 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. This week and next we'll celebrate that recording with selections from the CD, mixed with classic versions of Woody's songs, and songs about him ... this week on the Sing Out!
