"The Most Important CD Set For Americans"

"Who ever gave this CD set 1 star does not know what he is talking about! I bought this set brand new for a price Woody would have called it a steal! These 4 CD's seem to never leave my player since I opened the box! A great biography on two CD's alone and if that isn't enough, let's throw two more CD's in the set with 52 original Woody Guthrie Ash recordings! The sound is incredible, compared to the Ash set in which I also own. If I had to choose between CD set's I would pick this set for the price!"

"If you want this thing, buy it from Amazon under the title The Woody Guthrie Story for [amt] less. But do you want it? One CD is a boring reading of an encyclopedia version of Woody's life. The other CD is 52 of Woody's cuts in bad sound. A better intro to his life is Tribute to Woody Guthrie on Warner Brothers, at a good price at Amazon. Professional actors and top folk singers mix readings and songs to make the story come alive. If you want to hear the man himself, get the Asch Recordings, starting with Volume 1, This Land Is Your Land."
