Woody Guthrie - The Asch Recordings, Vol.1 - Vol.4 [1997 - 1999] (4 x CD's)

The Asch Recordings, recorded in 1944 and 1945, are possibly the most famous recordings of US folk musician Woody Guthrie. The record was conducted over a series of days by Moses "Moe" Asch in New York City. The songs recorded by Asch comprise the bulk of Guthrie's original material and several traditional songs. They were issued on a variety of labels over the years under the labels Asch, Asch-Stinson, Asch-Signature-Stinson, Disc, Folkways and Smithsonian Folkways. The tracks for Guthrie's Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child and Nursery Days were from this session. (Wikipedia)

Poland-born, Brooklyn-reared producer and folk enthusiast Moses Asch maintained a suitably slack but ultimately productive relationship with Woody Guthrie. The notoriously unbound folksinger was free to stop by the New York studio unannounced and Asch would record whatever was running through the folksinger's fertile mind at the time. From the vast body of work the twosome came up with comes this cornerstone four-disc collection. All four CDs included in The Asch Recordings have been released individually--This Land is Your Land (something of a best-of set), Muleskinner Blues (a collection of the singer's old favorites), Hard Travelin' (a topical compilation), and Buffalo Skinners (Western-themed songs). If you have one or more of the aforementioned titles, finish off the set one by one. If you're interested in American folk music and you don't have the Guthrie/Asch collection, do yourself a favor and get it out of the box. (Amazon)

The Asch recordings of Woody Guthrie were memorable and enjoyable listening of a time when many people had the courage to speak out intelligently against injustices in the United States. The songs capture a time of extreme inequality and exploitation in the U.S., a time when organizing moved the powerful to improve the lives of average workers. The recordings are sprinkled throughout with lighter fare, bringing the balanced view of the time as understood by Guthrie. Every generation could learn this history through the "Everyman" voice of Woody Guthrie.
