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 and 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. With a look at Guthrie’s life and times before and after this prolific period of his career, this biography is a goldmine of information on the Guthrie family's legacy to American music, the counterculture of the 1960s, and the record industry of the 1970s. It also features a detailed bibliography as well as the first comprehensive discography of Guthrie’s recordings through the present day.
