Bound For Glory

A legendary folk singer and activist Woody Guthrie and his songs changed the world. Born in an Oklahoma oil-boom town Guthrie traveled America by boxcar thumb and foot. Along the journey he composed and sang songs that have become a national heritage. His songs however are but part of his legacy. This remarkable autobiography brings to life both his vibrant personality and a vision of America we cannot afford to let die. Funny cynical and earthy Bound for Glory is the stirring account of Guthrie's life and a superb portrait of America's Depression years. This Grammy-nominated recording is performed by his son Arlo Guthrie who—like his father—is known for engaging storytelling and performing songs of protest against social injustice.
