I grew up listening to Arlo Guthrie and his father Woody Guthrie. This is a great introduction to his music. It includes the very funny Alice's Restaurant, that tells the story of how one man avoided the Viet Nam army draft by being arrested for littering. Evidently if you were arrested for the heinous crime of littering you were not fit for army duty!
The other song that stands out for me is "The City of New Orleans", a tale of the great Illinois Central train that runs from Chicago to The Gulf of Mexico. The rest of the songs are no disappointment though and are thoroughly enjoyable!
Anyway if you want a taste of what Arlo Guthrie is about have a listen!

The 60's...revisited
17 Sep 2008
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
In an age in which tecno-pop or country dominates the airaves...this is a breath of fresh air. A collection of tunes with with a fanciful wit and sense of humor...magnificently performed. "Alice's Restaurant" and "Comin' in to Los Angeles" alone are worth the price of this CD...but there is even more.
Few people remember Arlo Guthrie...but he remains a genius ahead of his time. Well worth checking out and certainly worth the investment.

A very good cd for ADG fans. Has all his good songs. I really enjoy the "Motorcycle Song" since I ride a Harley. It is always playing in my truck.
