"Arlo Guthrie: The Warner/Reprise Years" revisits Guthrie's 15-year ride as a recording artist for the prestigious record label. Hank Reineke guides readers through the colorful history of Guthrie's most creative period, when the droll, shaggy-haired troubadour promised in song that a "new world" was surely coming. In his thoughtful consideration of Guthrie's career as a popular, if idiosyncratic, recording artist for the Reprise/Warner Bros. label, Reineke regales readers with stories behind the remarkable success of Guthrie's talking blues-turned-movie "Alice's Restaurant," and his celebrated appearance at the 1969 Woodstock festival. Guthrie's time at Reprise/Warner Bros. from 1967 to 1982 saw 12 critically acclaimed solo albums, two staple singles of FM radio (Coming Into Los Angeles and City of New Orleans), and a pair of treasured folk-music recording collaborations with Pete Seeger.
