Son of the Wind

Arlo Guthrie

A warm collection of traditional cowboy ballads and western standards. Recorded with his band Shenandoah, it feels like a quiet evening around a dying campfire.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the fiddle weeps through the long instrumental stretches of Utah Carroll.
The gentle, rolling vocal delivery on Shenandoah that mimics the movement of a river.
The sudden, playful energy of the Woody's Rag medley breaking the somber western mood.
