This is an honest alt-country/folk album. The story behind the album is nice, it is well interpreted, but I'm not really sensitive to this specific genre, it lacks edges, and I honestly find it a bit boring.
Woody Guthrie was an amazingly prolific songwriter, leaving a collection of over a thousand songs in a box after his death. Apparently Bob Dylan went looking for them in the late 60s but it took another 40 years before Guthrie’s daughter uncovered the trove and passed the works over to Billy Bragg and the band Wilco to set some of them to music. The end result is inspiring, uplifting and thoroughly enjoyable, and the politics are as relevant as ever.
