About this album

Alice's Restaurant is the album that turned Arlo Guthrie into a defining voice of the American counterculture. Built around the long, humorous title piece, it blends talk-song storytelling, satire and folk tradition into a sharply observant snapshot of 1967. The record draws on Guthrie's rich, relaxed delivery and easy rapport with the audience, while songs such as The Motorcycle Song and Highway In The Wind extend the same road-worn wit and social bite. More than a novelty, it became a lasting document of protest-era America and helped make Guthrie's name beyond the folk circuit.
