Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Lenny Waronker, this charming and eclectic collection highlights the folk heir's adept interpretations of both traditional material and contemporary songwriting. Bolstered by a massive radio hit with his cover of Steve Goodman's 'City of New Orleans,' the relaxed, acoustic-driven arrangements perfectly frame Guthrie's affable, storytelling vocal delivery.
