Roll Columbia: Woody Guthrie's 26 Northwest Songs Album Out Now!


Smithsonian Folkways is proud to present their new release, the two-disc Roll Columbia: Woody
Guthrie’s 26 Northwest Songs, which marks the latest chapter in Smithsonian Folkways’ rich history with the iconic songwriter.  Roll Columbia: Woody Guthrie’s 26 Northwest Songs is a trove of new discoveries, and a celebration of Guthrie’s genius and lasting contributions to both the history and musical traditions of the Pacific Northwest. 75 years after Woody’s stint with the Bonneville Power Administration, present-day Pacific Northwest artists influenced by this fruitful time in Guthrie’s career have gathered together to record their own interpretations. Roll Columbia is the first and only complete collection of these 26 songs, including nine that had never before been recorded.  R.E.M. members and the Decemberists included!

Roll Columbia: Woody Guthrie’s 26 Northwest Songs is available now from Baker & Taylor.
 
The Seattle Times recently spotlighted the “rootsy, sometimes gritty” performances on Roll Columbia.
