My overall impression

If you have any interest in Americana or folk music or even Bob Dylan, this is the show for you. Randy Noojin is a terrific performer and has created a great show about Woody Guthrie, touching upon the personal history of the singer-songwriter but also what was happening politically in America at the time. And it even has jokes! Of course, I grew up with the song This Land Is Your Land but Woody Guthrie’s songbook is much more interesting and multifaceted than that. I especially loved Bound For Glory. Also if you have any interest in California history, this is a great show to see since Guthrie traveled to CA and Noojin touches upon that part of the history as well. Well-written and incredibly well-performed!
