May 1st, 2012 ~ American Routes will bring you a special two-hour program “Going Down the Road with Woody Guthrie: A celebration of Woody Guthrie’s Centennial” on the week of July 4th.
On this special edition of American Routes, we herald the 100th birthday of our nation’s greatest roving troubadour and social commentator, Woody Guthrie. We’ll visit with friends and relatives who share tales of Guthrie’s trials and triumphs, from Okemah, Oklahoma to Coney Island, New York. Guthrie’s children, Nora and Arlo, reflect on their father’s life, scholar Guy Logsdon discusses Guthrie’s Dust Bowl days and Pete Seeger shares the backstory to Woody’s anthem for the “down and outers.” Plus music and memories from Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Moses Asch, Bob Dylan and so many others.
