Quotes
"Every singer-songwriter since the dust bowl years has been influenced in one way or another by Woody, so it was a thrill to able to sift through so many of his writings, notes, letters, and drawings that no one else has seen. But what was perhaps the most thrilling was realizing that I was truly being drawn in to his psyche, particularly during that period of time where Huntington's Disease was altering his life."All About Jazz: Jonatha Brooke Sets Original Music to Woody Guthrie Lyrics "The Works" (November 12, 2008)"Brooke has quietly self-released splendid pop masterpieces" and People Magazine applauding her “jazz-tinged, rough-edged folk sound."—Chicago TribuneAll About Jazz: Jonatha Brooke Sets Original Music to Woody Guthrie Lyrics "The Works" (November 12, 2008)
