Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Poland-born, Brooklyn-reared producer and folk enthusiast Moses Asch maintained a suitably slack but ultimately productive relationship with Woody Guthrie. The notoriously unbound folksinger was free to stop by the New York studio unannounced and Asch would record whatever was running through the folksinger's fertile mind at the time. From the vast body of work the twosome came up with comes this cornerstone four-disc collection. All four CDs included in The Asch Recordings have been released individually--This Land is Your Land (something of a best-of set), Muleskinner Blues (a collection of the singer's old favourites), Hard Travelin' (a topical compilation), and Buffalo Skinners (Western-themed songs). If you have one or more of the aforementioned titles, finish off the set one by one. If you're interested in American folk music and you don't have the Guthrie/Asch collection, do yourself a favour and get it out of the box. --Steven Stolder

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Americana, 25 Feb 2003
By Gustav Svärd (Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Here we have Woody in all his glory. Collected are all his best known songs. We get his topical anthems, funny ditties, ballads, cowboy songs, country numbers etc. All songs remasterd with HDCD technology direct from the original master tapes. This colection easily demonstrates why Woody is such an important figure in the music pantheon.

As it says on the cover: "This is the finest Woody Guthrie collection ever assembled"
