Arlo Guthrie — Running Down The Road

Second studio album by the folk artist from Brooklyn, New York, the son of folk icon Woody Guthrie. The track “Stealin’” was featured in the film Two-Lane Blacktop, which starred musicians James Taylor & Dennis Wilson. The cover art shows Guthrie on a Triumph TR6 Trophy motorcycle. Featured guest musicians included Ry Cooder, and Gene Parsons & Clarence White, then of the Byrds. The albums includes covers of musicians such Mississippi John Hurt, Pete Seeger, & his father Woody. One of Guthrie’s best known songs, “Coming Into Los Angeles”, is on the album, & is semi-biographical, his friends haven played a prank on him by hiding drugs in his luggage from a flight back from London. The amount was exaggerated for effect for the song, which Guthrie also performed at Woodstock.
