Just wachin this Bob Dylan "No Direction Home" doc and noticing how cool Woodie Guthrie sounds. I'm not a huge Dylan fan, but can anyone recommend which Guthrie albums are out there, even possibly YSI some?

Also, what Dylan song has all the organ and stuff, ala the song on the Big Lebowski Soundtrack.

Thx in advance

Dylan = "Man in Me"

Ah. I thought you needed help connecting Dylan to Lebowski, Kevin Bacon-style...

Which would be very easy, as Jeff Bridges was in Masked And Anonymous!

The Man In Me can be found on New Morning.

Odds are extremely good that your local library has the Woody Guthrie Asch recordings box set. Check it out.

I just love New Morning. I have been playing "Went to see the Gypsy" over and over.

Woody's 'Dust Bowl Ballads' is very good and quite easily digestible. The Asch Recordings will become quite vital, as there's some great, loose ensemble stuff on there you don't get in the more lucid and focused Dust Bowl record. Look out for the ensemble stuff withe Woody, Leadbelly and Pete Seeger too.

"new morning is great" seconded. "three angels," "day of the locusts," and "father of night" are all total classics, along with most of the rest of the album.

it's Dylan's "makeout" record

Was "Still Got To Know", first heard on the Bob Roberts soundtrack, ever released on CD? That's a fucking tune and a half.

"new morning" (title track) and "if not for you" are classic, too

Holy shit, I love "Went to see the Gypsy."

I think I love it especially because his well-hidden Minnesota accent shines through in his pronunciation of his home state.

"Sign on a Window"! "Time Passes Slowly"! New Morning is one of the records I felt the need to own on both CD and vinyl.

Gives me goosebumps to think of a show he did in Duluth like 7 July's ago.. there was this thick fog.. and he pointed up in the general direction of the hospital and said "I was born up on that hill." I was not in attendance but nearby, and thats all that matters. He eventually did find his way home.... well sorta.

His cigarette butts found their way on ebay too.. lol
