After breaking that record in the park last night to "This Land Is Your Land", I thought to myself who is this Woody Guthrie guy any how.

...Guthrie album! Apologies for the seventh grade boner joke. And now, on to the review! When Woody Guthrie was dying, Bob Dylan used to go to his hospital room and play for him.
