This Land is Your Land: The Folksongs of Woody Guthrie

This Land is Your Land: The Folksongs of Woody Guthrie

This Land Is Your Land is a program that combines music performance (guitar and vocal) and spoken commentary. The program features songs by legendary folksinger and songwriter Woodrow Wilson “Woody” Guthrie (1912-1967), as well as commentary on the time period and each song. This commentary frames the program in a larger historical context and offers specific details on Guthrie’s songs and his biography. The program also includes two singalong songs.

Our presenter, Bucky Halker, holds a PhD in American History. He is a songwriter, performer, and historian with 15 albums, including Anywhere But Utah: Songs of Joe Hill (2015), a musical tribute to martyred labor songwriter Joe Hill (1879-1915), and The Ghost of Woody Guthrie (2012), an original music tribute to the legendary folksinger.
