There are many versions of this Woody Guthrie song but I have always liked this live version by Ry Cooder and David Lindley. Their twin guitars drain every bitter drop of poignancy from those desperate times. Magical guitar work from the maestros.

The art work is from a Depression Art Gallery:

great song,great images. do we like it because those times are gone, not to be spoken of and then forgot, der traum recommenced, or because we think theyll come again, all to live (if we may) over again?

A wonderful piece of music indeed. The guitar playing is amazing. Only started listening to Ry Cooder lately and I'm absolutely hooked now.

Heads up, folks .. we are heading in this direction once again .. poignant, rich and tragic song .. when performed without ego by two such fine artists, why it is visceral in its message
