This Land Is Your Land: The Folksongs of Woody Guthrie

"This Land Is Your Land" is a program presented by songwriter, performer, and historian, Bucky Halker, that combines music performance (guitar and vocal) and spoken commentary. The program features songs by legendary folksinger and songwriter Woodrow Wilson “Woody” Guthrie (1912-1967), as well as commentary on the time period and each song.
