Ok, one thing I don't understand. Oregon Trail and Jackhammer Blues are on "The Columbia River Collection", the original album, in which all songs were supposingly written by Woody Guthrie. But on "Woody Guthrie - The Ultimate Collection", a best-of recently released, it's written both songs are traditional songs. There's something I can't get ... Did he write them or not ?

That Oregon trail sounds pretty good right about now Woody. In these times of Depression in the 21st century, these songs are much more relevant than the new ones on the radio.
