Análisis (en inglés) - :
This collection of {$Woody Guthrie}'s recordings from 1944-1947 finds the poet and traveler laying down some of his best-known songs with frequent collaborators {$Cisco Houston} and {$Sonny Terry}, as well as a few appearances from "{$Guitar Slim}" {$Alec Seward}. Despite the rather aggressive title, {^Best of the War Years} refers more to the time span, offering no more patriotic or political songs than can usually be found on a {$Woody Guthrie} best-of. Actually, if anything, at this point in his life {$Guthrie} was focusing more on his family life, recording primarily {\children's} songs and fairly tame {\traditional folk} songs. Many scholars and listeners will agree that these {\cowboy} tunes and simple {\folk} tunes are among his most enjoyable, and {@Stardust} has done an excellent job of compiling these on one disc. Favorites like {&"Hard, Ain't It Hard,"} {&"John Henry,"} {&"Pretty Boy Floyd,"} {&"More Pretty Girls Than One,"} and {&"Worried Man Blues"} are all represented alongside lesser-known gems like {&"Ranger's Command,"} {&"Bury Me Beneath the Willow,"} and a bluesy take of {&"Rock Me Momma"} featuring {$Guitar Slim} on lead vocals. At this point there are almost as many {$Guthrie} collections as there are {$Guthrie} songs, but {^Best of the War Years} ends up somewhere near the top. ~ Zac Johnson, All Music Guide
