La 4e de couverture indique : "Woody Guthrie and the dust bowl ballads is a fictionalised visual biography of the political and cultural awakening of perhaps the greatest songwriter to ever live. Set in the dust bowl of the 1930s, in an America crippled by the Great World Recession, a young man finds solace in the ancient lineage of floksong, the voice of the people. We follow him from his dust bowl town, through the boxcars to the factory farms and migrant camps of California, singing the old songs and writing the new. Through his eyes we see the lives of the men and women deracinated by the inherent injustices of capitalism, and a land ravished by industrialisation. With a delighted eye and an ear for a tune, Nick Hayes's follow-up to his critically acclamed The rime of the modern mariner brings a legend to life with a warm heart and crackling moral force that honours its subject and chimes with the times."
