Woody Guthrie remains one of the most significant figures in folk music.  His legendary songs of freedom and struggle laid the groundwork for the folk revival that arose in the fifties and sixties, and his music endures as part of America's rich musical heritage.  In 1970, renowned folk artists like Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Country Joe McDonald, Odetta, Richie Havens, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Earl Robinson, The Band, and Woody's son Arlo Guthrie, convened to pay tribute to the legendary songwriter, who had passed away from Huntington's Disease three years earlier.  The benefit concert was held at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and raised funds for the California chapter of the Committee to Combat Huntington's Disease, now known as the Hereditary Disease Foundation.  Emmy Award-winner Jim Brown was on hand to film the one-night-only event, which was hosted by Peter Fonda and Will Geer .  The footage has remained unreleased until now.

Tomorrow, June 7, MVD Entertainment Group will release The Woody Guthrie All-Star Tribute Concert 1970 on DVD.  It boasts 19 songs performed by the immensely talented lineup, along with bonus features including previously unrecorded songs by Joan Baez, Odetta, and Ramblin' Jack Elliott; concert rehearsal footage; and interviews with Arlo Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott.

In all, the DVD presents electrifying performances of some of folk music's greatest talents in their prime, performing in tribute to an icon who shaped the musical landscape.  For a taste of the feature, check out the trailer below and don't forget to place your pre-orders with the following links!

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.
