Woody Guthrie Libri
14 luglio 1912 – 3 ottobre 1967
Woodrow Wilson Guthrie fu un cantautore e musicista folk americano la cui vasta eredità musicale comprende centinaia di canzoni e ballate. Influenzato dalle sue esperienze durante l'era del Dust Bowl, il suo lavoro spazia da un'ampia gamma di temi, dal commento politico ai tradizionali brani folk. Guthrie si esibì continuamente per tutta la vita, con la sua chitarra che portava notoriamente lo slogan "Questa macchina uccide i fascisti". Nonostante la sua malattia, divenne una figura di spicco del movimento folk, ispirando una nuova generazione di musicisti.
