About This Song

About "New Found Land" by Woody Guthrie

A hopeful title, but Guthrie's delivery is tinged with the dust of the journey. The tune ambles like a wagon train, each verse a new horizon that might be a promise or a mirage. There's calm in the strum, unease in the repetition—a new found land always comes with a cost.
