Roll On, Columbia: The Columbia River Songs 75th Anniversary - Songbook

All 26 songs in the Columbia River song cycle collected and edited with a new introduction by Bill Murlin.

"The Pacific Northwerst has got mineral mountains. It's got chemical deserts. It's got rough run canyons. It's got sawblade snowcaps. It's got ridges of nune kinds of brown, hills out of six colors of greeb, ridges five shades of shadows, and stickers the eight tones of hell. I pulled my shoes on and walked out of every one of these Pacific Northwest mountain towns, drawing pictures in my mind and listening to poems and songs and words faster to come and dance in my ears than I could ever get them wrote down." - Woody Guthrie
