Woody Guthrie
Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (
July 14,
1912–
October 3,
1967) was a prolific
American songwriter and
folk musician. He described himself in one of his songs as "The Great Historical Bum", a first hand observer and survivor of the economic and environmental hardships of the
Dust Bowl, which shook the
Great Plains states during the
Great Depression. Guthrie's body of music consists of hundreds of songs,
ballads and improvised works. The breadth of his song topics ranged from political and traditional songs to children's songs. Guthrie performed constantly throughout his life; his guitar frequently sported the slogan "This Machine Kills Fascists". He is perhaps best known for his song "
This Land Is Your Land". Many of his songs are archived in recordings in the
Library of Congress and some such as "This Land" are regularly sung in US schools. He occasionally had regular radio shows and was a founding member of
The Almanac Singers.
