MY NAME IS NEW YORK: Ramblin' Around Woody Guthrie's Town
by Nora Guthrie & The Woody Guthrie Archives

Woody Guthrie lived in New York City from 1940-1967, a total of 27 years. This Land Is Your Land was written at a small boarding house on 43rd Street, Bound For Glory and many of his most well known songs were written around town: Jesus Christ, Tom Joad, Vigilante Man, and Riding In My Car are among the 600 songs Woody composed here.
Although he continued to ramble, NYC was the city he called home and always returned to. Highlighting 19 locations with historic photos, lyrics, artwork, and diaries, this little pocket guide provides an intimate portrait of his life in New York City
