Released Aug. 25th!
"David Amram Honors Guthrie and Ochs - Old Souls"
Guthrie Legacy Recordings

David Amram:
“Thank you to Nora for “discovering” me as a promising young vocalist.”
Produced and commisioned by Nora Guthrie, (grand-daughter of Woody), she notes, "There’s no one else on earth like David Amram. He’s the definition of 'one of a kind'. He’s a renaissance musician composing classical and film scores, performing with jazz or folk groups, jamming with any and all genres of musicians, or conducting large orchestras. Like Satchmo, or Billie Holiday, or Nina Simone, his voice is instantly recognizable as being like no other, digging into the soul of a song."

The album features 5 Woody Guthrie songs and a Phil Ochs song. Featuring bassist Rene Hart, drummer Kevin Twigg, guitarist Justin Poindexter, percussionist Adam Amram and David Amram on vocals, piano and various instruments.
