Not relevant to the Tom Joad specifically, but I want to share a couple more Woody Guthrie tracks that I discovered over the past week. I’m sure many people are aware he is much more than just “This Land is Your Land”, but I wasn’t.
And finally:
The Almanac Singers - Which Side Are You On? - this is like a supergroup of leftist folk artists, including Guthrie, who recorded a whole album of labor songs in 1941.
