Woody's 20 Grow Big Songs

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Woody Guthrie never once lost touch with his inner child. Consequently, his kids songs remain alive and vibrant--yet another living testament to his prodigious talent. He recorded many of them before Huntington's chorea took his voice, and some of those recordings are still available from Rounder and Folkways. Here, though, Woody's own children (including Arlo) sing his songs--and through the wonder of technology, they sing along with him as well. Some of the classics on this charming disc, such as "Cleano," "Howdy Doo," and "Sleep Eye," will spark fond childhood memories for parents. All of them--whether about riding in cars, racing down mountains, or even picking up your room--will have modern little ones dancing and singing around the house. --Michael Ruby

Album Description

This great collection of songs earned a Grammy Nomination in 1993. Lost for over 40 years, the manuscript of this collection of songs, written and illustrated by Woody Guthrie with his wife Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, was rediscovered and released in 1991. Woody's kids and grandkids sing along with his early recordings adding their voices and instruments to the originals where they exist and creating new music when needed. The booklet contains the original artwork and lyrics by Woody and Marjorie Guthrie. The words to all the songs are included.

Get this for your grandkids.......2007-01-25

This is a marvelous gift for your children and grandchildren. They sing many of the songs in pre-K. A great introduction to a great music man.

Woody's 20 is one of our favorite kids' music albums. The songs are fun, original, singable, catchy, and--here's the exceptional thing--not grating for adult ears. They have a nice 30's era flair thanks to Woody, and have a clean and professional sound thanks to the rest of the Guthrie family. These gems sit well with other high-quality modern classics like Putumayo and the Music Together series as kids' music that appeals even to musical aesthetes.

The whole family loves this CD!.......1998-10-26

We have played this for our 2 year old son since he was a few months old. We all got hooked on the catch lyrics, even his nanny, and find ourselves singing the songs throughout the day. We have purchased it for any of our friends who have had a child, so that they could enjoy it, too. It is wholesome, folksy fun. Try NOT to smile when you listen to it!
