Resumen del Editor
Legendary folk singer and activist Woody Guthrie left us with this funny, cynical, earthy and tragic account of his life in an Oklahoma oil-boom town, of the Depression that followed, and of his subsequent travels in, on, and under trains, in stolen cars and on his feet, rounding an America going rotten from the top downwards. During the journey of discovery that was his life, Guthrie composed and sang words and music that have become a national heritage. His songs are merely part of his legacy. Woody Guthrie left us this remarkable autobiography - it vividly brings to life both his vibrant personality and his telling an honest vision of America and its people.
This Grammy nominated recording is performed by his son, Arlo Guthrie, who like his father is known for singing songs of protest against social injustice, and for his engaging storytelling while performing those songs.

An essay-poem
A wonderful reflection on his life and the world as he saw it; a philosophical rumination and a poem. A wonderful delivery by Woody's son Arlo- catching his pop's cadence, rhythms and twang.

It is a Song. A masterpiece.
Woody Guthrie is one of the most important human beings who ever lived. He left us the legacy of his recorded music. Along with Woody’s own catalog, we can add the music of Bob Dylan, who began as a Woody Guthrie impersonator but who went on to actually work in the spirit of Woody Guthrie for his lengthy career. But along with his songs, we have this masterpiece of an autobiography. Not a single word is out of place, even though he uses folksy grammar and style. In fact, this is less a prose work than it is a poem, or perhaps an extended song cycle. It is the most inspiring, authentic, truly American, romantic biography, or perhaps work of non-fiction that I’ve ever encountered. This book should be taught in every school, at least in America, if not the entire English speaking world. It is a core text and a foundational document for the modern psyche, wherever it is found. The criticisms that it levels at the powers that be are absolutely devastating. But they are never offered without a heaping helping of love, joy, humor, and good nature on the side. The man was a prophet. A saint. Predictably forsaken by those without eyes to see, but those who, like Bob Dylan, had ears to hear, once he was heard, he must be hearkened to. His example must be followed. I implore you to listen to this book and to try to be some fragment of the person that this man was. For the sake of everything and everyone that you love. Well, it will bring troubles and perhaps hard times, it is not a hard job. It ain’t hard being happy and trying to show folks how to do likewise. His yoke is easy, and his burden is light.

this is VERY abridged
Arlo Guthrie's performance is amazing and it is a wonderful story. That being said, I never would have bought this audiobook if I had known that it was abridged. About half of the book isn't there. whole chapters are not there.

Shame on Audible
I love Woody Guthie. I love Arlo Guthrie. I do not love Audible for fobbing off, without a hint of warning, an extremely abridged version of this book. Audible should refund a credit to everyone who was tricked into choosing this selection.

Excellent performance, Okay story.
I loved Little Arlo reading his dad’s work. Woody Guthrie has a great knack for dialogue, and I love his story as he travels all over the USA in the 1930s. The narrative itself was just okay, nothing spectacular. This book is really more of an embellished memoir than an autobiography or anything.
