| Summary | Woody Guthrie songs, performed by Guthrie
with guitar and harmonica. Twenty-six new songs were written by Guthrie on a one-month
contract for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) in May 1941, and were recorded
during 1941 or later in Portland, Oregon. These are likely the originals or near copies
of the 1941 studio recordings Guthrie made at the BPA Headquarters in Portland, Oregon.
Some are first-generation discs, others are second-generation or other copies; songs
include alternate takes and outtakes. Three of Guthrie's songs were included in the 1948
film "The Columbia." |
