A previously unheard Woody Guthrie recording from 1954 has been shared.
The tape, which was released by Variety after it was discovered in the Shel Silverstein Archive, features Guthrie, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and Sonny Terry performing ‘Hoodoo Voodoo’ – check it out below.
The song was recorded by Wilco and Billy Bragg on their 1998 release Mermaid Avenue, which featured interpretations of Guthrie’s unrecorded tracks alongside new releases.
The discovery comes on the 20th anniversary of Mermaid Avenue’s release.
