“This is where despair sets in and the wandering begins.” 

This week, we talk Woody Guthrie's 1940 Dust Bowl Ballads. We talk the Dust Bowl itself, family histories, and how Woody weaves ordinary tales throughout a tremendous historical event (and if that still resonates 70 years later). Join us again on Monday as we continue our month-long tribute to Woody Guthrie with Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Free." 

As always, full show notes at our website.
