The Story

OriginUnited StatesGenrefolk musicLabelWarner Bros. Records

Arlo Guthrie is an American folk singer-songwriter known for his storytelling and social commentary through music. His style often echoes the tradition of his father, Woody Guthrie, blending humor with poignant messages. Among his notable works is the satirical "Alice's Restaurant Massacree," which has become a staple during Thanksgiving gatherings. Guthrie's only significant hit is a cover of Steve Goodman’s "City of New Orleans," a reflective piece that captures the essence of American rail travel. While he has dabbled in acting, his roots in folk music remain strong, and he stays connected to his Massachusetts home, where he has spent much of his life.
