Free Music Notes for The Best of Arlo Guthrie
Free Music Review: Arlo is one of a kind!
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw Arlo on his latest "Solo Reunion Tour - Together At Last" last week and he actually did Alice's Restaurant which I've only seen him do twice now out of the 7 times I've seen him. It was updated in appropriate spots and even though my favorite Arlo album is "Last of the Brooklyn Cowboys", I am buying this one for my son and I know he will love the story that goes with "The Motorcycle Song" which I also love. I also saw him in New Orleans at the end of his City of New Orleans tour to benefit musicians and I was leaning against the stage and got really great pictures. Arlo is as good a storyteller as any and will keep even the most conservative Republicans with tears rolling down their faces. I love how he sings his dad's "This Land Is Your Land" at every concert and stops in the middle to tell a story about how one person CAN change the world. It amazes me how many don't know who Arlo is or even who Woody Guthrie is! This is a must-have collection as ALL his albums are must-haves as far as I'm concerned! And if you've never heard the story he tells before he sings "Coming Into Los Angeles", you need to see him because he does it every concert and it's hilarious! (if you believe in federal men standing on the side of runways sniffing planes as they land and being able to pick out which seat someone is in who is carrying illegal substances on their person!) ARLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The Best of Arlo Guthrie Poster
Though several of Guthrie's records contain hidden gems well worth seeking out, his best-known songs are fairly obvious and easy to assemble on a single greatest-hits package. A hefty chunk of this record is taken up by the epic "Alice's Restaurant," which clocks in at 18-and-a-half minutes. Yet--while it's a definitive element of late 1960s counterculture--it's not his best song, either as writer or as performer. For the latter, his version of Steve Goodman's classic "City of New Orleans" remains the pinnacle of his career; among his own songs, it's hard to surpass the somewhat lesser-known but equally beautiful "Darkest Hour." Other highlights here include the rockin' "Comin' into Los Angeles" and the comedic "Motorcycle Song." --Peter BlackstockFolk Music CDs
