Summary
Woody Guthrie was America's greatest folk singer. Blowing out of the Dust Bowl in Depression-era America, he merged traditional songs with politically-charged lyrics to create a new branch of American popular music. He became the archtype of the singer-songwriter--guitar slung across his shoulder, always on the move. This documentary explores Guthrie's life and music as well as some of the lesser known sides of his creative genius.
