Woody At Home Vol. 1 & 2 is OUT NOW!

Bringing Woody Guthrie’s unheard recordings to life took more than just pressing play.

Grammy-winning producer Steve Rosenthal carefully restored decades-old reels, guided by Woody’s granddaughter, and President of Woody Guthrie Publications Anna Canoni, with support from co-producer Kathy Ostien, the COO of Global Music Operations at TRO Essex Music Group. The original tapes were expertly transferred in Sean McLowry’s studio, preserving every detail of Woody’s voice and guitar.

These intimate tapes—filled with songs, stories, and everyday sounds—bring us right into Woody’s Brooklyn apartment.

The album is available everywhere now — check it out: http://tunelink.to/WoodyAtHome

Surprise Single off Woody At Home Volumes 1 & 2: "I'm A Child Ta Fight"

We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new, never-before-heard single unearthed from Woody Guthrie’s personal home recordings — released exclusively on Shamus Records, a subsidiary of Woody's longtime publisher TRO Essex Music Group.

“I’m A Child Ta Fight” — available everywhere August 1st — is a bold, spirited anthem captured in the raw, unfiltered intimacy of Woody’s own living room.

This surprise release is an assertive, even defiant declaration of youth’s role in standing up to injustice. A lesser-known gem, that highlights Guthrie’s ability to speak to—and for—children in ways that are both playful and powerful.

“I’m A Child Ta Fight” offers an early glimpse into the forthcoming Woody At Home: Volumes 1 & 2 — two expansive collections of never-before-heard demos, lyrical sketches, and candid moments from one of America’s most enduring and vital voices.

Exactly one month from today — on August 14 — Shamus Records will release Woody At Home – Volumes 1 & 2, a landmark collection of 22 never-before-heard home recordings from folk icon Woody Guthrie.

Captured during the early months of 1951 and 1952 at the Guthrie family’s Brooklyn apartment, these recordings were made as Woody’s introduction to his publisher, Howie Richmond of TRO Essex. Woody’s candid reflections and storytelling are interwoven with sounds of his toddlers and the home itself — doors opening, footsteps, and everyday life.

The collection includes 13 songs never recorded elsewhere, rare spoken word tracks, and unreleased versions of classics like “This Land Is Your Land” (featuring newly uncovered verses!).
