Detailed Description
BEST OF THE VANGUARD YEARS CD
He may be remembered for his travels with Woody Guthrie, but Cisco Houston is an equally influential folk singer in his own right and one of the seminal founders of the folk movement. During the depression, Houston drifted throughout America with Guthrie and recorded many of Guthrie's most famous songs as well as early traditional folk songs. One of these famous Guthrie tunes is "This Land Is Your Land" which has never been issued on CD until now. In fact, the collection presented here includes a total of 17 tracks that are appearing on CD for the first time. Plus, five of these songs: "Roll On Columbia," "Diamond Joe," "John Hardy," "So Long It's Been Good" and "Tramp On The Street" are previously unreleased and cannot be found anywhere else. This is truly an important release by one of America's treasured folk singers.
