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!
