Says Billy: “Woody Guthrie rode the freight trains across America during the Great Depression and ‘Hobo’s Lullaby’ was his favourite song. It was written and recorded in 1934 by Goebel Reeves, ‘The Texas Drifter’, who specialised in hobo-philosopher recitations and cowboy ballads.
The song entered Woody’s repertoire when he was broadcasting from Los Angeles on KFVD with ‘Lefty Lou’ in the late 30s and became one of his signature tunes.”
See Billy & Joe performing ‘Hobo’s Lullaby’ here. Read more about it onUncut here. This track is also available to download immediately when you pre-order the album from the official store or iTunes.
