About This Song
About "Wnyc Radio Program - Folk Songs of America December 12, 1940: Jesse James" by Woody Guthrie
On WNYC's 'Folk Songs of America,' Guthrie delivers 'Jesse James' with plainspoken gravity. The ballad's outlaw myth unfurls over spare strums, a tale of rebellion and ruin where admiration and moral unease sit side by side.
