Norton & Company, 17 мар. 2006 г. - Всего страниц: 512 Winner of the Oklahoma Book Award and the Deems Taylor ASCAP Award for Best Folk, Pop, or Jazz Biography A patriot and a political radical, Woody Guthrie captured the spirit of his times in his enduring songs.

At forty-two, he was cruelly silenced by Huntington’s disease. Ed Cray, the first biographer to be granted access to the Woody Guthrie Archive, has created a haunting portrait of an American who profoundly influenced Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and American popular music itself. |
