5 stars Maybe the best single CD of Woody that exists...
This is a great collection, lovingly done by The Smithsonian staff that is saving and cleaning and re-issuing the old Folkways catalogue. The booklet alone is worth the purchase price, but the music is excellent as well. Woody's recording career only went a little over ten years due to the coming of the Chorea in the early l950's, but he still laid down too many good tracks to be confined to one album. However, if you can only afford one of his releases, this is a wonderful choice. Second choice…

3 stars One Great immortal song
Music is like art. What appeals to one might not another. In this case I wanted his recording of This Land is Your Land which was resurrected during the last presidential campaign by JibJab. If you haven't heard their rendition, it's a must. As far as the rest of Woodie's songs I thought they were OK but nothing great.
