About this product

Sammy Walker recorded Songs from Woody's Pen in 1979, twelve years after Woody Guthrie died due to complications from Huntington's disease. Though the original recordings of these songs date back more than 30 years, Walker sings them in a traditional folk-revivalist manner reminiscent of Guthrie's social conscience and sense of humor. Speaking of Guthrie, Sammy Walker said, InchI can't think of hardly anyone who has had as much influence on my own singing and songwriting as Woody.Inch This is Walker's enduring record of that influence. Liner notes include track listing, information on Guthrie's Folkways releases and Sammy Walker on Woody Guthrie's lasting music and influence. Album Tracks 1. Grand Coulee Dam, the 2. Pastures of Plenty 3. Talking Dust Bowl 4. Deportees (Plane Wreck at los Gatos) 5. Vigilante Man 6. Rambling Round 7. Jackhammer John 8. 1913 Massacre 9. Tom Joad 10. Philadelphia Lawyer 11. Pretty Boy Floyd

Song for Patty is folk singer Sammy Walker's first album. Recorded when he was just twenty two, the album concentrates on characters at odds with the world around them, from (famous heiress and outlaw) Patty Hearst to Johnny Strozier (who was given a 40 year prison sentence after the unarmed robbery of a Georgia store). Featuring contemporaries Sis Cunningham and Phil Ochs (who also produced the album), Song for Patty features ten original tracks, Ochs' Bound for Glory and Woody Guthrie's I Ain't Got No Home. Liner notes include lyrics, sheet music, photos and illustrations of Walker and his subjects, and a brief biography. Album Tracks 1. Song for Patty 2. Ragamuffin Minstrel Boy 3. My Old Yearbook 4. Little New Jersey Town 5. I Ain't Got No Home in This World Anymore 6. Closin' Time 7. A Simple Hour Operation 8. The Ballad of Johnny Strozier 9. Funny Farm Blues 10. Testimony of a Dying Lady 11.
