LEGACY
Where’s
Woody Now?
New
books and publications of Woody's words and drawings, such
as Woody Guthrie Artworks, a book featuring many
of Guthrie's original paintings, illustrations and drawings
and This Land is Your Land, a children's book illustrated
by folk artist Kathy Jakobsen, have brought Woody Guthrie
back into the mainstream of popular culture.
In
1998, the Smithsonian Institution and the Woody Guthrie Archives
collaborated on a major traveling exhibition about Woody's
life and legacy. Since then, the Woody Guthrie Foundation
has continued to provide traveling exhibits, public programs,
multimedia presentations, film screenings, and educational
performances, allowing thousands of people to experience Woody's
music and creative legacy.
Musicians from a variety of backgrounds such as Bruce Springsteen,
Billy Bragg, Wilco, Ani DiFranco, The Klezmatics, Hans-Eckhardt
Wenzel, and countless others, continue to draw inspiration
from Woody Guthrie, re-interpreting and re-invigorating his
songs for new audiences. His influence is felt throughout
the world, from Native American musicians such as Keith Secola
and Blackfire to Chinese Punk rockers PK14 and Danish musician
Esben.
Clearly,
Woody Guthrie's songs continue to speak to us all about thoughts,
ideas, and feelings that are as relevant and meaningful today
as when he lived them.
