Guthrie Family Rides Again
ARLO AND KIN SET OUT ON MASSIVE TOUR INTO 2010
Arlo Guthrie |
“The Guthries are the first family of American folk. They practice what Woody preached.” -Vanity Fair
“[Woody] Guthrie music is alive and well, and that the legacy is in good hands.” -Robert Price, New Jersey Herald
This month, folk music icon Arlo Guthrie will begin his trek across North America with three generations of Guthries for “Guthrie Family Rides Again.”
The concerts on the upcoming “Guthrie Family Rides Again” tour will feature Arlo’s standards as well as a selection of unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics recently put to music by such distinguished artists as Billy Bragg, Wilco, Eliza Gilkyson, Janis Ian, Wenzel, The Klezmatics, and others. With many notable musicians from around the world contributing to keep the work of Woody Guthrie alive and well, the Guthrie Family will pay tribute to these artists as they perform some of the newly composed tunes.
“Guthrie Family Rides Again” spotlights three generations of Guthries including Arlo’s son Abe, who has contributed keyboards and backing vocals to his father’s live shows since the ’80s. His daughters Cathy, Annie and Sarah Lee Guthrie, all of who have their own bustling music careers, will support by singing songs and accompanying on acoustic guitars. Sarah Lee’s musical partner and husband Johnny Irion (a JamBase faveÂ…learn more here) will lead songs and lend his stalwart guitar playing. The youngest generation of Guthrie kids will join in the fun on select songs.
In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock, Arlo’s family-run label Rising Son Records released Arlo Guthrie: Tales of ’69 (Release Date: August 18, 2009). Recorded just prior to Woodstock, the recently discovered lost tape highlights Arlo live in concert in Long Island, NY and features nine tracks including an epic 28-minute talking blues tale as well as three previously unrecorded songs.
Also coming up on Tuesday, October 27, 2009, Smithsonian Folkways will release Go Waggaloo, a 13-track disc of children’s music from Sarah Lee Guthrie & Family, featuring her husband Johnny Irion, their two daughters, and a host of other family and friends including her father Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Pete’s grandson Tao Rodriguez Seeger. Guthrie presents thoughtful yet playful recordings of traditional songs and new compositions, including three songs featuring lyrics by her grandfather Woody Guthrie from the Smithsonian Folkways archives never before put to music and eight songs written by Sarah Lee and family. This is Sarah Lee Guthrie’s first children’s recording and her first recording for Smithsonian Folkways, home of 42 albums featuring Woody Guthrie and more than 200 children’s recordings by Pete Seeger, Ella Jenkins, Lead Belly and many others.
