About this album
Thinking Of Woody Guthrie is a direct and heartfelt tribute that places Country Joe McDonald firmly within the protest-folk tradition. Released in 1969, the album honours Woody Guthrie’s legacy with spare acoustic arrangements, topical songwriting and a plainspoken delivery that keeps the focus on labour, hardship and social justice. Rather than treating Guthrie as a museum piece, McDonald reworks that influence for the late-1960s counterculture, linking Dust Bowl imagery and rail-riding balladry to contemporary dissent. The result is one of his most pointed and historically resonant records, bridging folk revival ideals with the sharper political mood of the era.
