Guthrie Family Rides Again

October 22nd, 2009 | No Comments

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The concerts on the upcoming “Guthrie Family Rides Again” tour will feature Arlo’s standards as well as a selection of unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics recently put to music by such distinguished artists as Billy Bragg, Wilco, Eliza Gilkyson, Janis Ian, Wenzel, The Klezmatics, and others.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.

US Bollywood ‘detention’ row

August 16th, 2009 | No Comments

Shah Rukh Khan, 11 Aug 2009

The Indian government has asked the United States to explain why a leading Bollywood film star was held for two hours at New York’s Newark airport.

Shah Rukh Khan, who was released after India’s embassy in the US intervened, said he felt angry and humiliated.

The actor, who is promoting a film on racial profiling, said he was stopped because he had a Muslim name.

In July, a US airline apologised to a former Indian president for frisking him before he boarded a flight.

The US ambassador to India, Timothy Roehmer, said the embassy was looking into Mr Khan’s case.

Speaking in Delhi, Mr Roehmer said: "Shah Rukh Khan, the actor and global icon, is a very welcome guest in the United States. Many Americans love his films."

He said the embassy was trying to "ascertain the facts of the case – to understand what took place".

Popular celebrity

Mr Khan, 44, told the Press Trust of India news agency he had been detained by immigration officials at Newark airport because his name came up on a computer check list.

He told the agency that he had been released after he was allowed to message a politician in India, who contacted the Indian embassy in Washington on his behalf.

Mr Khan was on his way from New York to Chicago to attend an Indian independence day celebration when he was stopped.

The news was widely reported by Indian media outlets.

Mr Khan has appeared in more than 70 films and is considered one of India’s most recognisable and popular celebrities.

Last month, America’s Continental Airlines apologised to APJ Abdul Kalam amid outrage in India when it emerged that the former Indian president had been frisked and made to remove his shoes at Delhi airport in April.

The airline said in a statement that it had not intended to offend Mr Kalam or the sentiments of the people of India.
