About This Song

About "BBC - Children's Hour July 7, 1944: Pretty Boy Floyd" by Woody Guthrie

Guthrie turns Pretty Boy Floyd into a Robin Hood for the airwaves, his voice warm yet edged with outlaw sympathy. The children’s hour setting softens the ballad’s bite, but the message lingers: some thieves are saints. A campfire tale with a badge buried in the ashes.
