This Land is an atmospheric interweaving of Woody's life story, from rousing gigs at rallies and transit camps to more difficult times. As his life unfolds, Woody discovers the nature of the disease which killed his mother and from which he too would eventually die - Huntington's Chorea, a hereditary degenerative illness which results in violent tremors and dementia. The influence of Woody Guthrie spans generations and his music has touched the work of many singer-songwriters and entertainers of our day. Music lovers, folk fans and casual listeners alike recognise Woody as the Godfather of Folk and his influence can be heard everywhere, from the music of Bob Dylan and Christy Moore to Ani DiFranco and Bruce Springsteen.
