west to California, where they became migrant workers in often onerous conditions, and he used that knowledge to create 

songs with the tunefulness of Jimmie Rodgers and the wry wit of Will Rogers. He started out in humorous mode 

with "Talkin' Dust Bowl Blues," though his comic observations did nothing to hide the circumstances as he spoke in the first 

person of an Okie taking his family to California. "Blowin' Down This Road" was more direct, with its defiant tag line, 

"I ain't a-gonna be treated this-a-way." "Do Re Mi," directed to the Okies from the voice of one who knows better, counseled 

that the promises about California were false and that, as dispossessed and desperate as they might be, the Okies were 

better advised to stay home unless they were ready to establish themselves immediately in the West, unless they had 

"the do re mi," (i.e., money). "Dust Cain't Kill Me" acknowledged the destruction wrought by the dust storms; the singer 

admitting it could kill his family, for instance, but nevertheless asserting that it wouldn't kill him. And in case the connection 

to The Grapes of Wrath was not clear enough, Guthrie concluded the album with the two parts of "Tom Joad," 

which was nothing less than a musical retelling of the plot of the novel. Guthrie played acoustic guitar rhythmically 

and efficiently, occasionally also blowing on a harmonica to accompany his singing, which 

was full of rural diction and country twang, but still got his points across clearly...(AllMusic)
