Shamus Records

Shamus Records

Shamus Records is part of legendary music publisher the TRO Essex Music Group, which for 75 years has represented the catalogs and songs of iconic songwriters like Woody Guthrie, Bill Evans, Pete Seeger, Black Sabbath, Marc Bolan, Pink Floyd and many more. In its first year, Shamus partnered with contemporary artists to reimagine the timeless catalog of these legacy writers. Our Vintage Collection includes our Evergreens Reimagined Series and the Home Tapes Collection, never before heard recordings from the 1950s and 60s!  

Woody Guthrie's Home Tapes

Woody at Home is a two-volume secret treasure trove of Woody’s home recordings—recordings that Woody was unable to release in his lifetime, a life cut short by Huntington’s disease. Never intended for commercial release, these raw and intimate home tapes were recorded in 1951-1952 at the family’s apartment in Beach Haven, Brooklyn. Woody made them as his musical introduction to his new publisher. Now, thanks to the leaps made in technology, Woody’s voice, ideas, and recordings are a guiding and candid voice.   Woody sings about historic events, stories of the disenfranchised and ignored, love, and of course, the fight against fascism.

This brand-new collection contains 22 unreleased recordings, including 13 new Woody Guthrie songs. Tracks include never before heard recordings of This Land is Your Land, I’ve Got to Know, Pastures of Plenty and the only Guthrie recording of DEPORTEE (PLANE WRECK AT LOS GATOS) with new music. All tracks originally written, performed, recorded and engineered by Woody Guthrie on a one microphone reel to reel analog tape recorder at 3 3/4 IPs and now fully restored and released for the first time ever. Available everywhere August 14, 2025!

Suprise Single off Woody At Home Volumes 1 & 2: "I'm A Child Ta Fight". This surprise release is an assertive, even defiant declaration of youth's role in standing up to injustice. A lesser-known gem, that highlights Guthrie's ability to speak to - and for- children in ways that are both playful and powerful. Pre-save the single now, and be among the first to hear this powerful work.

The lead single from "Woody at Home" is the only recording Woody ever made of DEPORTEE (PLANE WRECK AT LOS GATOS). "Deportee," originally written in 1948 in response to a New York Times article about a plane crash in Los Gatos Canyon, California New Mexico that killed 32 people including 28 migrant farm workers. As historian, Tim Z. Hernandez adds, “On January 28, 1948, a plane deporting 28 Mexican workers crashed down in the agricultural hub of California's San Joaquin Valley, in a place called Los Gatos Canyon. Not a single soul survived. News reports named the four American crew members but referred to the Mexicans simply as "deportees," after which they were buried anonymously in "the largest mass grave in California's history," while the remains of the American crew members were sent home to their families. Woody understood that to be nameless in death was an injustice of the highest order, and within days of the crash he sat down to pen what would become one of the major protest songs of the last century, perhaps even more relevant today than it was nearly eighty years ago. To finally hear these words in Woody's own haunting voice, is to hear a prophetic voice from the grave, warning us about where we've been, who we've become, and where we are headed.”
