Woody Guthrie also known as the "Dust Bowl Troubadour" due to songs inspired by Dust Bowl era, travelled the country mainly by box car from Oklahoma to California during the Depression of the 1930’s with thousands of other migrants looking for work.
Many of his songs are concerned with the conditions faced by these working class people, and inspired many of the great songwriters that came after him including Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs.He played at countless labour strikes, union meetings, migrant camps, and Communist Hollywood parties with actor, Will Geer, and wrote for Communist papers The Light and People's World.
On 3rd October 1967 Guthrie died from complications connected to Huntington's disease, a progressive genetic neurological disorder.
