About the book

Arlo Guthrie: The Warner/Reprise Years revisits Guthrie?s 15-year ride as a recording artist for the prestigious record label. Hank Reineke guides readers through the colorful history of Guthrie?s most creative period, when the droll, shaggy-haired troubadour promised in song that a ?new world" was surely coming. In his thoughtful consideration of Guthrie's career as a popular, if idiosyncratic, recording artist for the Reprise/Warner Bros. label, Reineke regales readers with stories behind the remarkable success of Guthrie?s talking blues-turned-movie Alice?s Restaurant and his celebrated appearance at the 1969 Woodstock festival. Guthrie?s time at Reprise/Warner Bros. from 1967 to 1982 saw 12 critically acclaimed solo albums, two staple singles of FM radio (?Coming Into Los Angeles? and ?City of New Orleans?), and a pair of treasured folk-music recording collaborations with Pete Seeger. McGhee, and Sonny Terry.
