Summary: We shall overcome ! !
Comment: I really enjoyed this book.A longtime fan of Woody and have the bulk of his music that has been published.I have other books of Guthrie;namely, Woody,Cisco,&Me by Jim Longhi,Pastures of Heaven by Woody,edited by Marsh and Leventhal,Woody Guthrie-a life by Joe Klein and this is a very good addition.Though it is a quick read, there is a lot of fresh stuff;plus a lot of really good pictures I've not seen before.
If Pete Seeger says "The best book about Woody ever written", it's got to be good. Can you imagine Pete saying something he didn't believe? Get it,it's a keeper and enjoy it.

Summary: Woody Guthrie's life & songs
Comment: This book is very appealing at first glance. The cover is striking and attractive. The pages hold many photos and other features include notes on sources used, notes on where to find further information, and an index. Elizabeth Partridge portrays Woody Guthrie lovingly despite his failings in his domestic life.
The problems come when actually reading the book. Some of the pictures seem unnecessary and included just to take up space. The pictures are sometimes poorly placed and do not match up with the information until a few pages later. Partridge also focuses on his years as an artist and includes very little information about Huntington's Disease. A brief section on what the disease actually does to a person and perhaps the treatments used would have been a nice addition to the book.
Nevertheless, the book is a wonderful resource and an enjoyable read.
