Summary:
"One of America's most beloved folk singers,
Arlo
Guthrie
was at the pinnacle of his fame in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his best-selling album Alice's Restaurant and his iconic appearance at Woodstock. Yet
Guthrie
's career as a musician, humorist, and storyteller extends far beyond his years in the celebrity spotlight.
Rising
Son
: The
Life
and
Music
of
Arlo
Guthrie
, written by award-winning author Hank Reineke, recounts the veteran musician's second act, from the early 1980s to the present. Featuring extensive reflections and commentary from
Guthrie
himself, this book is the only authorized biography of the renowned folk singer. As a modern-day troubadour drawn to experimentation,
Arlo
Guthrie
has also carried forward the traditions inherited from his legendary father, Woody
Guthrie
.
Rising
Son
examines
Arlo
's role in preserving Woody's legacy of social protest and examines his collaborations with his father's friend Pete Seeger. The book also highlights the contributions of
Guthrie
's mother, Marjorie Mazia
Guthrie
, a dancer with the Martha Graham Company and the
Guthrie
family's first archivist. Drawing on substantial research, the author traces
Guthrie
's efforts to free himself from corporate oversight of his
music
and art. In 1983,
Guthrie
created his own label,
Rising
Son
Records, to reissue titles from his back catalog and create new
music
.
Guthrie
speaks frankly about record company blues and
music
industry tangles, offering lively accounts of the people he met and the places he performed. The narrative takes several detours, with
Guthrie
sharing memories written in the spirit of his signature shaggy-dog storytelling style.
Rising
Son
also illuminates the spiritual journey of a restless pilgrim: a man devoted to exploring and synthesizing the most benevolent principles of charity and kindness as practiced by different religious traditions. 'What I've tried to do,'
Guthrie
has reflected, 'is to use live
music
to change people's lives.' This definitive biography invites new appreciation for
Arlo
Guthrie
's remarkable career as a musician, storyteller, and humanitarian activist." --Publisher.
