June 21, 200618 yr There are Mermaid Ave. and Mermaid Ave II (wouldn't be surprised if there are other tributes to Gutherie over the years, just that I'm familiar with the Bragg/Wilco material) I'll get my mits on 'em pronto. Springsteen recently put out a Seegar tribute. His live version of "This land..." is chill-inducing. When I'm King of America it will be the national anthem. Until then, all I can do is convince my kids that it already is. KF/USA
June 21, 200618 yr I just got the Seeger tribute album today. Only listened to the CD, so I haven't seen any of the DVD stuff (yet), but yeah, it's great. The "My Oklahoma Home" live is far better than the album version, but the "Oh, Mary, Don't You Weep" on the album is just top notch. Old Dan Tucker, Erie Canal, Pay Me My Money Down - fantastic. Hmm...looking at the track listing, "This Land Is Your Land" doesn't show up on the DVD either...is that just from the concert, or did he put that tune out somewhere else?
June 21, 200618 yr I recall hearing Springsteen's cover of Guthrie's "This is your land" on the 3-LP 1975-85 Live collection. That's an interesting song to google the lyrics on. Verses you never learned in elementary school (assuming you attended in the 70s when hippie teachers ruled). The original manuscript actually had the refrain "God blessed America for me." Who knew? Here's my favorite verse: "Was a high wall there that tried to stop me A sign was painted said: Private Property, But on the back side it didn't say nothing -- [God blessed America for me.]" Check out this link: http://www.geocities.com/Nashville/3448/thisland.ra It's clip of Alan Lomax interviewing Guthrie. Also check out this page in general: http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Music/woodieguthrie.html. Now you know... ...And knowing is half the battle! KF
June 21, 200618 yr Their is rumored to be another CDs worth of Wilco/Billy Bragg material on that Woody Guthrie collaboration, but it hasnt been released, nor are their any boots available either as far as I know. A good Woody Guthrie tribute/cover CD is one I picked up years ago. A bunch of Austin singer/songwriters did this live gig at a place called La Zona Rosa,doing covers. Some pretty good versions on that, esp. of his "Pretty Boy Floyd".
June 22, 200618 yr >Old Dan Tucker The crack of ol' Dan's whip! So, is the song any better than the half-ass whisky? I haven't heard it.

June 29, 200618 yr >You're a Redneck Anarchist Punk. What interest would you have in listening to some old Ohio minstrel song? Wow. I just did a little research but couldn't get to the bottom of this. When I read the name on a Bruce Springstein track list I assumed he wrote a song about the diluted whiskey, not that the diluted whiskey was named after such an old tune. They're absolutely still making that stuff, I had it most recently about 18 months ago. I couldn't find anything about it searching on the net, I don't know what parent company makes it. The illustration on the bottle is the profile of a carriage driver whipping a team of horses and said something like "Diluted Kentucky Bourbon bottled in Cleveland, OH".
