In 1951, Woody Guthrie’s publisher gave him a newfangled piece of equipment: a Revere T-100 Crescent home tape recorder. It was primitive: mono and running at a noisy, lo-fi, 3 ¾ inches of tape per second, with a little mono microphone. Yet it allowed Guthrie to record his songs without visiting a studio, without recording engineers or time pressures, while he was at home in Beach Haven, Brooklyn, keeping an eye on three young children.
On Aug. 14, Guthrie’s estate and Shamus Records will release “Woody at Home, Vol. 1 and 2.” It collects 20 songs and two spoken-word interludes, including a version of “This Land Is Your Land” that adds extra verses, as well as 13 newly unveiled songs.

I saw that his family hand-selected thirty of the recently found songs, earmarked for Del McCoury to record/release. Pretty nifty! I'll be buying that!

Old Man Trump" is a song with
Old Man Trump" is a song with lyrics written by American folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie in 1954. The song describes the racist housing practices and discriminatory rental policies of his landlord, Fred Trump, father of President Donald Trump. In January 2016, Will Kaufman, a Guthrie scholar and professor of American literature and culture at the University of Central Lancashire, unearthed the handwritten lyrics while conducting research at the Woody Guthrie Archives in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[1] There are no known Guthrie recordings of this song.

One of Pete Seeger's banjos
One of Pete Seeger's banjos on display at the Woody Guthrie museum in Tulsa. I got to tour this place about a year and a half ago. So much history. If you are going through this part of the country, make time to visit this.
