Here Comes The Kid

In tribute to his legendary father's 100th birthday, Arlo Guthrie returns with a celebration of Woody Guthrie's immeasurable contributions to the landscape of American folk music. Arlo has long paid homage to his dad with his own renditions of Woody's songs; but of equal importance, Woody's legacy is well defined in Arlo's own works—in his humor, his political and social activism, and his undeniable gift for storytelling. "Arlo's voice has retained much of the freshness it had in the 1970s. And he can still spin an amusing yarn between songs" (New York Times).
