Library of Congress Recordings

Album by Woody Guthrie

The Library of Congress Recordings is a collection of field recordings by American folk musician Woody Guthrie, recorded in 1940. The sessions capture raw, unaccompanied folk performances centred on Guthrie's voice and acoustic guitar, featuring topical lyrics and narrative storytelling that document his early repertoire and constitute an archival source frequently referenced in histories of mid-20th-century American folk music.
