ARLO GUTHRIE fans know they can get anything they want (at Alice's
Restaurant anyway!). And this Sunday, they can tune in for a special
hour-long feature about Arlo--son of Woody, child of Woodstock, father
to a new generation of young musicians--ARLO GUTHRIE's our guest on this week's Nonesuch.

Find out about Arlo’s latest recording project—he’s working with a full
symphony orchestra!….why one of his best songs was BANNED from radio
(not, it wasn't the drug references!)…the reason Arlo wrote a letter to
Dolly Parton, begging her to sing a duet with him. Arlo talks about the
weirdness of being a “no-hit wonder”—a musician who’s never had a major
hit, yet whose songs are translated into a dozen languages and played
'round the world. He also speaks candidly about what it's like to live
with the threat of the congenital Huntington's disease that conquered
his dad. (Gave me new insight into the whole arena of prenatal genetic
testing and its implications, I'll say that much.).

All along, he’s done his best to live up to his father Woody’s legacy. Arlo’s carved out a career as a singer and songwriter with a social conscience—and a sense of humor. One of the funniest storytellers you’ll ever hear!

Catch our special interview with ARLO GUTHRIE, including excerpts from
our conversation stitched together with many short musical excerpts--his work alongside the music he talks about being influenced by, and some of
his 24-year-old daughter Sarah Lee's new songs, too!

Arlo Guthrie, Sunday morning at 11 a.m.(Eastern Time) on Nonesuch, Music

in the Folk Tradition on WVBR.
