Four generations of what Vanity Fair rightly called “the first family of American folk” gather to revive the musical spirit of late patriarch Woody Guthrie. Led by Woody’s son Arlo, a star in his own right, “The Guthrie Family Rides Again” continues the clan’s tradition of sharing its music far and wide. Joining in are Arlo’s son Abe, who has accompanied his father on keyboards and vocals since the 1980s, and daughters Cathy and Annie. Also on board is a third daughter, Sarah Lee Guthrie, with her husband Johnny Irion—one of the most acclaimed folk-rock duos of the last decade—and various grandkids. The elder generation will be represented by Woody’s songs, both the classics and “new” compositions using lyrics uncovered in the Guthrie archives.
