About This Song
About "Ida Red" by Woody Guthrie
Woody Guthrie's 'Ida Red' is a spirited folk stomp, all twanging guitar and hollered refrain. The title's namesake becomes a whirlwind of dance and defiance, a vivid image of a barn floor shaking under work boots. The tension is purely joyful: calm never stands a chance against this rhythm.
