About This Song

About "Wnyc Radio Program - Folk Songs of America December 12, 1940: Tom Joad" by Woody Guthrie

Guthrie's 'Tom Joad' rises from the same broadcast like a dust-storm sermon. The melody is stark, resolute, carrying the weight of displacement—a quiet fury beneath the calm recounting of a family's journey through American hardship.
