Sunday Supper: 02/23/20

Eighty years ago today Woody Guthrie wrote "This Land Is Your Land" (originally titled "God Blessed America for Me") in a NYC hotel room. Tonight Jeff Tweedy, John Fullbright, and others will celebrate the occasion in concert at Town Hall, and so will the "Sunday Supper"on the radio starting at 5. We'll construct a massive mashup with multiple artists, from Woody, Pete Seeger, and Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Jonatha Brooke and Sharon Jones, trading the many verses of the song.

The rest of the hour will honor Woody's populism with recent recordings by the likes of The Nields, Ana Egge, Jean Rohe, Sloan Wainwright, Hank Stone, Hayes Carll, Tom Chapin and the Chapin Sisters, Spook Handy, and Martyn Joseph.

If there ever was a time we needed a little Woody and his spiritual descendants, it's now, and you can experience it from 5-6 p.m. EST at 90.7 FM and wfuv.org or on demand in the WFUV Weekend Archives, on the WFUV app or that populist smart speaker.
