Because this is the celebration of Woodie Guthrie’s 100th birthday I thought I would put up something by that American folk legend, except all I could find on YouTube were various versions of This Land Is Your Land. Which may be a great folk song, but frankly it’s not one of my favourites. So instead here is another travelling song written and performed by Woodie’s son Arlo. I remember listening to this as a restless teenager and longing to get on a train to New Orleans or anywhere…
