Review - :
What makes this unadorned and no-frills compilation of {$Woody Guthrie} songs stick out a little from the countless other single-disc packages of {$Guthrie} material available is a simple commitment to include only his most famous songs. {&"Pastures of Plenty,"} {&"This Land Is Your Land,"} {&"The Grand Coulee Dam,"} {&"Talkin' Dust Bowl Blues,"} {&"Vigilante Man,"} {&"I Ain't Got No Home in This World Anymore,"} and both parts of {&"Tom Joad,"} the song that inspired {$Bruce Springsteen} to record {^The Ghost of Tom Joad}, are all here in a well-sequenced set. While serious {$Guthrie} fans and scholars will want to seek out the more chronological and comprehensive releases, {^Country & Folk Roots} is perfect for the casual listener looking for an introduction to this prolific and historically important artist. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
