Bound for Glory: The Hard-Driving, Truth-Telling Autobiography of America's Great Poet-Folk Singer (Abridged)

by Woody Guthrie Narrated by Arlo Guthrie

Overview

Legendary folk singer and activist, Woody Guthrie and his songs changed the world. Born in an Oklahoma oil-boom town, Guthrie traveled America by boxcar, thumb, and foot. Along the journey, he composed and sang songs that have become a national heritage. His songs, however, are but part of his legacy. This remarkable autobiography brings to life both his vibrant personality and a vision of America we cannot afford to let die. Funny, cynical, and earthy, Bound for Glory is the stirring account of Guthrie's life and a superb portrait of America's Depression years. This Grammy-nominated recording is performed by his son, Arlo Guthrie, who-like his father-is known for engaging storytelling and performing songs of protest against social injustice.
