The Avett Bros Sing, So Long It's Been Good to Know Yuh (Woody Guthrie)

[snmthecloser]

Thank you for Injecting all the Woody directly into our veins to watch us fly. Thank you for keeping the genius of Mr. Guthrie alive. Nothing could detract from his immeasurable, breathtakingly monumental contributions to the Great American Songbook. When it comes to the folk/rock/country song, and more specifically when it comes to crafting a plethora of musical styles, we now take for granted tunes that have become the woven templates which birthed infinite numbers of subsequent music, albums, artists, and sub-genres. Few have moved the goalposts further than Woody. Few have contributed more to the "Lomax Lexicon" than Guthrie himself. To his rabid, cult-like following, he is a deity. Half man, half fountain pen. His words spill out into the night sky like the light of a shooting star dots a back country road, exploding onto the canvas with the ferocity of a Jackson Pollock work. To hear Guthrie sing is to hear the soul stripped down to its most vulnerable shell, shouting out to the proverbial void: "I am here. I am America. Hear me roar with the fire of a thousand suns."

This is beautiful. My daddy used to sing the chorus of this to me when I was little. It was my first favorite song. And now the Avett Brothers have covered it. My life is complete. 😀

From the time I saw "May it Last" on the one night showing I have been a huge fan. Have 6 CDs, a May it Last poster and 2 posters showing their changing beards and hair.
