This Land Is Your Land: An All American Children's Folk Classic

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This Land is the first of four planned volumes that will comprise all of Guthrie's early masters for Moe Asch's Folkways Records. Many of the folk poet's favorites are found here in their earliest forms, including "Do-Re-Mi," "Philadelphia Lawyer," "Pastures of Plenty" and a previously unreleased version of the title track that restores a "lost" verse. The initiated will be thrilled by the raw grace of these recordings, rejoicing in Guthrie's casual performances and good humor. The uninitiated will undoubtedly discover why Guthrie has long been considered a national treasure. Guthrie Scholar Guy Logsdon's notes provide plenty of background. This is a great place to start a real folk music collection. --Michael Ruby

Grandfather's favorite.......2006-02-27

Toe-tapping, finger-snapping. It really is a classic. Not only do my four young grandsons love this CD, so do I and other adults. We listen to it frequently when driving locally and on long trips. The kids enjoy it because the songs are catchy and fun, and the vocals are so distinctive. But adults can appreciate the exceptional musicianship as well. The arrangements and instrumentation are done by talented professionals having a good time, and the quality is outstanding. Of course the CD is set apart by the fact that the songs were written by Woody Guthrie and are sung by Woody, Arlo, and the two together (thanks to modern technology). Far superior to most recordings for kids.

A Brilliant CD.......2000-08-12

This CD instantly became our family's favorite--we've been dancing in the kitchen every night since we got it. Plus, Riding in My Car and All Work Together are great songs to use as cues with my two-year old, and are infinitely superior to Barney! We'll be listening to this one long after her other children's CDs have been outgrown.

This is a fantastic CD! Our two year old daughter has loved it since she was six months old - Woody Guthries fun filled songs and great song melodies are a real treat and never wear out. It has saved us many a time on long road trips with the little one and is just pure fun to listen to. Highly recommended!
