About This Song

About "Foggy Mountain Top" by Woody Guthrie

A traditional mountain tune given Guthrie's dusty touch, the foggy top a metaphor for blurred memory and lost love. The picking is nimble but the mood is thick with mist and regret. Calm surface, uneasy depths—like a still lake hiding a drowned past.
