Wonder Wheel - 20th Anniversary Edition - Preorder!
Artist: The Klezmatics
Extended 20th Anniversary Edition
*2007 GRAMMY Award Winner for Best Contemporary World Music Album of the Year
“Who else but the Klezmatics could turn Woody Guthrie lyrics into such joyful, playful, soulful, passionate and yes, even danceable masterworks! I’m so proud of their dedication to the cause, revealing this surprising part of Woody’s life.” - Nora Guthrie
Wonder Wheel is a lively dialogue between artists who fervently agree about social justice, peace, and the spiritual power of music to unite, bind to a cause, and transcend any borders, musical or otherwise. The story is a glorious tale of happenstance and discovery, populated by luminaries from different worlds and different eras. These Coney Island-wrought lyrics add a less-known urban dimension to a man seen as the avatar of dust- bowl ballads. But, like thousands of his songs, they were left unrecorded, their music forgotten.
