Arlo Guthrie is his father in every way. What his father meant for the workers' movement of the 30's, Arlo meant for the hippie movement of the 60s. Emotional depth and penetrated crossover vocals convince in this album. Whether it's own pieces, the pieces Dylan or his father are, Arlo will be a very unique and often surprising gently laconic interpretation, the excellent sideman (eg R.Cooder) finds support. Polyphonic, to the last song, a landmark of the New Folk Songs beyond the commercialism. One of the most acclaimed works of too little often insipid and trite American folk music. Not for social romantics.
