Description
Book SynopsisWoody Guthrie kept moving throughout his life, making friends, soaking up influences, and writing about his experiences. Along the way, he produced more than 3,000 songs, as well as fiction, journalism, poetry, and visual art. Will Kaufman examines the artist's career through the perspective of time and place in Guthrie's artistic evolution.
Trade ReviewMapping Woody's travels as a way of revealing the impact of time and place on his work is a journey few are qualified to undertake. The reader is in good hands as Will Kaufman guides us along Woody's road and his path across the seas to explore the places and spaces that inspired America's greatest balladeer."" - Deana McCloud, Executive Director, Woody Guthrie Center
""We always knew Woody was a 'travelin' man,' but Will Kaufman shows us so much more. Movement across space and through time enriched Guthrie by providing him - and by extension, us - the multiple vantage points through which to view and understand America at mid-twentieth century. Our preeminent Woody Guthrie scholar delivers yet again."" - Brian Hosmer, H. G. Barnard Chair of Western American History, University of Tulsa
