About

Project Details

Woody at Home is a two-volume secret treasure trove of Woody Guthrie’s home recordings—recordings that Woody was unable to release in his lifetime, a life cut short by Huntington’s disease. Never intended for commercial release, these raw and intimate home tapes were recorded in 1951-1952 at the family’s apartment in Beach Haven, Brooklyn. Woody made them as demo recordings to his new publisher. Woody sings about historic events, stories of the disenfranchised and ignored, love, and of course, the fight against fascism. This brand-new collection contains 22 unreleased recordings, including 13 new Woody Guthrie songs. Tracks include never before heard recordings of This Land is Your Land, I’ve Got to Know, Pastures of Plenty and the only Guthrie recording of DEPORTEE (PLANE WRECK AT LOS GATOS) with new music.

All tracks written, performed, recorded and originally engineered by Woody Guthrie on a one microphone reel to reel analog tape recorder at 3 3/4 IPs. Produced by Anna Canoni, Steve Rosenthal and Kathryn Ostien; Sound Restoration and Analog Tape Transfer by Sean McLowery, The Attic Studio; Mastering Engineering by Jessica Thompson.
