The Songs of Woody Guthrie, Volume 1 and Volume 2, together encompass Rafael's graceful and authentic takes on twenty-four Guthrie - and two Guthrie-inspired - compositions. Rolling Stone, in its review of Woodyboye, noted, "Don't miss the moving version of Guthrie's 'Stepstone,' which finds Rafael sharing vocal duties with Jackson Browne & Arlo Guthrie.
