| Pros | Old and new come together in the best of folk and the best of alt-country |
| Cons | The music flies a little too low under the radar for mainstream attention |
| Bottom Line | Sometimes the past still has a lot to offer us, and Bragg and Wilco show us with these new songs from the lost archives of Woodie Guthrie. |

| Pros | Makes the music of Gutherie accessible to a wider audience. |
| Cons | Better for occasional play rather than over and over. |
