BONUS Arlo Guthrie

Arlo Guthrie, the fifth child of Woody Guthrie, America's legendary Dust Bowl troubadour, shot to fame with "Alice's Restaurant Massacree," a nearly 19-minute talking blues song. Successful albums, drug anthems and even a major Hollywood movie followed - and a five-year collaboration with Ry Cooder, who appears on several of Arlo's albums. They even toured together in 1971. This bonus episode of The Ry Cooder Story tells the story of their projects together.

This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.
