Praise
“Even readers who never heard Woody or his songs will understand the current esteem in which he’s held after reading just a few pages… Always shockingly immediate and real, as if Woody were telling it out loud… A book to make novelists and sociologists jealous.”—The Nation
“Deserves the attention of this generation… It is not only a fascinating autobiography, it is a voice from the grass roots of America… Woody speaks for the indomitable spirit of an independent man who set out to do his own thing.”—Library Journal
“Woody Guthrie was the greatest composer and singer of folk songs America has produced. In his autobiography, he tells how he grew up in Oklahoma, rode the rails, and found inspiration for his music through his own hard times during the Depression. As his songs attrest, he’s a good prose stylist, with an ear for the patterns of American speech.”—The Washington Post
