| Guthrie, Woody. Bound for Glory. New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1943. |
Woody Guthrie's musical repertoire includes over 3,000 songs such as "This Land Is Your Land," "Red Wine," "Jesus Christ," "Pastures of Plenty," and "Do-Re-Me." In Guthrie's autobiography, "Bound For Glory," Pete Seeger said, "His songs are deceptively simple. Only after they have become part of your life do you realize how great they are. Any damn fool can get complicated. It takes genius to attain simplicity." An online companion to the book is offered, as well. |
