About This Song
About "Radio Program - The Ballad Gazette with Woody Guthrie: Normandy Was Her Name / The Sinking of the Reuben James" by Woody Guthrie
Guthrie stitches two wartime ballads into a broadcast elegy, his voice steady as a telegram. āNormandyā and āReuben Jamesā unfold like newsreelsāheroic, mournful, and unflinching. The radio frame lends a ghostly intimacy, as if history is being sung directly into your living room.
