Rendition of Woody Guthrie folk song appears on upcoming six-disc anthology project The Smithsonian Folkways Collection
digs deeper into the protest politics of Woody Guthrie’s folk anthem “This Land Is Your Land” in a previously unreleased live version of the song from 1976. The track, recorded during a show at the University of Tulsa, appears on the upcoming six-disc anthology project“Woody wrote a lot of verses that did not get in the school songbooks—here’s one of them,” Seeger says over a sprightly banjo strum, leading the audience through playful collective harmonies.
Later, he shifts the song to a Native American perspective: “This land is your land, but it once was my land/Before we sold you Manhattan Island/You pushed our nations to the reservations/This land was stole by you from me.”, timed around what would have been Seeger’s 100th birthday, follows similar collections from the label celebrating Guthrie and Lead Belly.
