From "This Land is Your Land" to "The Ballad of Tom Joad," Woody Guthrie's timeless music has inspired several generations' worth of musicians and activists alike (perhaps none as famously as the great Bob Dylan). Woody Sez is a musical portrait celebrating the colorful life and rich musical legacy of America's most enduring folk troubadour. This spirited musical revue features lively renditions of Guthrie's stirring ballads and joyous anthems performed by a cast of four, who switch off among acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica, upright bass and fiddles, and bring new dimension to Guthrie's music with three- and four-part harmonies.
