Woody Guthrie's recording of "This Land Is Your Land," made for Moe Asch
New York, NY — 1944?
This is how "This Land Is Your Land" sounded as Woody Guthrie sang it in the 1940s for Moe Asch, the founder of Folkways Records. Note the straightforward rhythm and rounded vocal tone, both very different from Dylan's recordings of the song in the early 60s.
