About "Muleskinner Blues" by Woody Guthrie
Woody Guthrie's 'Muleskinner Blues' is a raw, hollering folk-blues, the yodel a piercing cry across the American expanse. It's the sound of labor and loneliness, a mule driver's lament that crackles with the dust of the road. Guthrie's voice is a scrappy, unvarnished instrument of survival.
