In this unauthorized study of Arlo Guthrie, Reineke (Ramblin' Jack Elliot: The Never-Ending Highway) documents the musician's 15 years of recordings on the Warner/Reprise label (1967-82). Guthrie, son of legendary folksinger Woody Guthrie, began his career singing at concerts with his father's friends. He made his own break with the clever and politically charged song-story Alice's Restaurant in 1967. In the next 15 years, Guthrie played at Woodstock, toured extensively with his friend and mentor Pete Seeger, and produced 14 albums. Throughout his career, Guthrie has frequently played at Woody Guthrie tribute concerts and events. Reineke uses extensive interviews, album reviews, and concert reviews and has compiled a thorough discography, covering Guthrie's entire career, which will be extremely useful to fans and newcomers to the music. VERDICT This well-researched work is recommended for anyone interested in the Guthrie family and American folk music. It may be of special interest as Woody Guthrie's centennial birthday nears in July 2012. Library Journal This is a very readable account of Arlo's life and a clear-sighted analysis of his development as a person, artist and a musician. Reineke deserves thanks for undertaking such a mammoth task. American Record Collector Reineke details the recording and release of the thirteen albums Guthrie made for Warners over a fifteen year period before his contract was terminated and he began releasing his albums on his own label...Reineke fills the book with details about songwriting and recording and folk music in general. Critics at Large Arlo Guthrie: The Warner/Reprise Years is a comprehensive, fact-based and cross-referenced account of Guthrie's career as a stage and recording artist for the Reprise and Warner Bros. labels from 1967 to 1982. Secaucus Home News In Hank Reineke's book, Arlo Guthrie: The Warner/Reprise Years, he pulls together a narrative from extensive source materials that tracks Arlo Guthrie during his most prolific period as a songwriter, performer, traveller, and activist of enormous skill. The book keeps pace with 11 studios albums, 2 live albums, and constant touring over the course of 15 years...Reineke is smart in not trying to re-contextualize Arlo Guthrie artistically or renegotiating his place in music history. Instead, he provides a thorough companion to a canon of under-appreciated records that are playful, thoughtful and wise. The Warner/Reprise Years does a nice job of reminding us that there's a lot more going on in Arlo Guthrie's work than just littering. American Songwriter
