Guthrie is
a-smilin' in his
grave. Lyrics for eight
of his Jewish-themed songs have
been uncovered and set to music by
the Klezmatics.
Though not Jewish, legendary folk
singer Guthrie developed his
Yiddishe hup from his mother-in-law
Aliza Greenblatt, a noted Yiddish
poet. Because of his marriage,
Guthrie became very involved with
the Coney Island Jewish community.
Guthrie wrote songs about
Chanukah, about Jewish history and
spiritual life, and about World War II
and the anti-fascist cause. These
songs, however, sat forgotten in
archives after his death in 1967.
In 1998, the "lost" lyrics were dis-
covered by Guthrie's daughter, Nora,
who was so taken by them that she
contacted the Klezmatics, who were
charged with writing new music for
them.
The six-member New York-based
band took the challenge and hon-
ored Guthrie's memory by creating
music that seamlessly blends
Guthrie's folk and bluegrass roots
with the band's bent toward lively
Eastern European Jewish tunes.
The result is a CD titled Woody
Guthrie's Happy Joyous Hanuha, with
Nora Guthrie as executive producer.
The CD comes packaged in a cover
that's hand pressed on
antique presses at the
Chicago Print Museum and folds to
make a large dreidel. Individual
songs are listed on two sides of the 4 4
dreidel, paired with the Hebrew let-
ters hay, nun, gimel and shin.
There are eight songs — one for
each night. Some sound more like
traditional klezmer music, with its
wild clarinets and horns and soaring
fiddle. Others sound more like
American folk music, very much in
the vein of what Guthrie might have
written and performed.
Some favorites are "The Many and
the Few," which is a musical history
lesson; "Hanuka Dance," "Happy
Joyous Hanuka" and "Hanuka's
Flames."
The Klezmatics began in New
York's East Village in 1986. Band
members are Matt Darriau, Lisa
Gutkin, David Licht, Frank London,
Paul Morrissett and Lorin
Sklamberg.
