Woody Guthrie: a century of protest | Cerys Matthews | Music | The Guardian

Woody Guthrie: a century of protest | Cerys Matthews | Music | The Guardian:

Guthrie getting his due. 30+ years ago, when  I was touring my show about him, I often had to pitch him to folks who never heard of him, though they knew several of his songs. But there were a few around who knew, including this reviewer:
Deemer's act [Ramblin'] is unusually faithful to the material, graced with the selfsame sense of commitment and trust in the common people that continues to keep Guthrie's spirit alive in this country, a spirit that's needed now more than ever.
