About This Land Is Your Land in brief
Woody Guthrie wrote the song in 1940 in response to Irving Berlin’s ‘God Bless America’ Guthrie’s melody was very similar to the melody of ‘Oh, My Loving Brother’, a Baptist gospel hymn that had been recorded by the Carter Family as ‘When the World’s On Fire’ The original title was ‘God Blessed America’, but it was struck out and replaced by ‘This Land Was Made For You & Me’ In 2002, this version of the song was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. This version was recorded the same day as 75 other songs as part of the Smithsonian archivists’ ‘Songs of Woody Guthrie’ exhibition at the National Museum of American History and Culture, which opened on February 14, 2013. The exhibition is open to the public and is expected to run until March 14. The museum is also hosting a permanent exhibition of the Guthrie family’s possessions, including their guitars, pianos, violins, and other musical instruments, as well as other memorabilia.
