Buy it for the Poetry

Review Score: (8/10)
The most intriguing thing about this album is the sheer range of the artist -- and I'm speaking here of Woody Guthrie. The scope of subjects is ambitious -- from love to racism to workers' rights -- but the sincerity of the words never ebbs. Even if you are tepid on Wilco or Bragg, consider buying the album for the lyrics sheet -- practical poetry at its most human and accessible.
