When you were in elementary school, did you sing a song that went; "This land is your land, this land is my land....this land was made for you and me?" Yah, that song was written by Woody Guthrie, Arlo's dad. There's a long folk music tradition in Arlo's background.
You should check out Alice’s Restaurant, which is an 18-minute long story/song, and which is an out-and-out masterpiece.
Arlo may not have had #1 hits, but back my hippy days, everyone was listening to Arlo. We still have his albums, and Alice’s Restaurant is played EVERY Thanksgiving😎
"The Motorcycle Song" by Arlo Guthrie is a fantastic song, I highly recommend it.
Alice's Restaurant is well worth listening to, but LONG! His dad Woody is behind the American Classic THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
The late Steve Goodman wrote many great songs. Arlo wasn't a "singles" artist. His albums were great.
All credit to Steve Goodman, who was a brilliant song writer and excellent guitarist... and Cubs fan.
Arlo does a live version of this with Pete Seeger. He tells the story of this song. Very humorous. Arlo is a masterful storryteller, which is what folk music is all about
Happy Birthday Arlo Guthrie, he turned 77 today.
This was Arlo's biggest hit, but as noted by others, was written by Steve Goodman, a singer-songwriter from Chicago who was very well-known locally, and was just on the verge of national recognition, when he died of leukemia in his 30s. Many of us who were Steve's contemporaries were familiar with The City of New Orleans, which is the train one would take from Chicago to the University of Illinois campus in Champaign-Urbana. It was exactly as Steve describes it, once a glorious ride from Chicago to NOLA, but by the '70s, a decrepit, sad ride. Unfortunately, most of the rest of Steve's catalogue remains unknown, but has lots of great songs. He was the owner of a bar with live music called Somebody Else's Troubles, from the title of one of his songs, on Lincoln Ave in Chicago, across from the Biograph Theater where John Dillinger was famously shot down. He frequently played there, and he had a relationship with Jethro Burns, of Homer & Jethro fame, a fabulous old-time mandolin player, who was still great but very elderly. Wonderful memories.
Arlo’s is my favourite version of this song.
Welcome to my childhood. LOVE this song!
When you understand Arlo's young life and people that visited his home as a kid, you will understand where he got his style and fantastic guitar playing skills. Motorcycle song and Comin' into Los Angeles are also fun songs in his bag.
His Dad, Woody, is a folk legend who influenced many including Bob Dylan. City of New Orleans refers to a train that travels between Chicago and New Orleans. The train still runs, AMTRAK, daily.
Woody's spirit lives on thru Arlo, for sure! "Alice's Restaurant", the full length version, is a Thanksgiving tradition that I post every year on FB. Wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it! He also played Woodstock, you might want to check out "Coming Into Los Angeles" from that concert. He did't have that may hits because he had his own unique style that wasn't exactly top 40 material. "The Motorcycle Song" is another good one. Happy Birthday Arlo! 🥳
Paints a beautiful picture
Always loved this song.
It was a real pleasure watching you fall into the song! Welcome, continue listening, we grew up on this.
Poetic...Calming...Full of life... Spectacular...Heart warming...Classic...
Always loved this song! I was actually born in Kankakee (Illinois). Thanks for doing this one.
