1317.0. "Woody Guthrie Tribute CD?" by LESLIE::LESLIE (The Sheep remain inside their pen) Fri Sep 02 1988 11:46

    Earlier this year I heard tell of a Tribute to Woody Guthrie on CD,
    recorded by such luminaries as Dylan and Springsteen to be released
    "late summer" 1988. 
    
    Any news on this, folks?

1317.1It's hereBAVIKI::GOODMichael GoodFri Sep 02 1988 11:553
    It's out over here - it's a tribute to both Woody Guthrie and
    Leadbelly.  It's getting quite a bit of airplay, especially
    the Springsteen and U2 contributions.

    The consensus of reviews I've read is that everything on the
    Guthrie/Leadbelly tribute works, except the Brian Wilson contribution
    (which I believe is "Goodnight Irene").  I've liked what I've
    heard -- the Springsteen, the Dylan "Pretty Boy Floyd" (nice to
    compare to the bootleg Dylan version), the Little Richard
    "Rock Island Line", and the Willie Nelson contribution (Guthrie
    tune I hadn't heard).
    
    This one's for the benefit of the Smithsonian, who intend to
    purchase the Folkways archives.

    	Though I haven't heard the whole cd yet, only cuts, the two
    reviews I read listed the Brian Wilson tune as one of the gems
    on the cd.  Each his own, eh?

    Thats real interesting because I've read perhaps 5 different reviews
    and each one, to a fault, has listed the Wilson cut as the only
    out and out failure.
