6755. Arlo Guthrie - Stealin'
 |
| From: Running Down the Road; Year: 1969; Genre: Folk Rock/Jazz/Blues |
Played this record once more yesterday and was again just mesmerized by almost every facet of it; it's just one of those "historic" albums.
Stealin' is a blues standard that is kind of nebulous as to its authorship, but has been one that many a wandering troubadour has played it live and in the studio over the last century. This recording of the track also has the distinction as being part of the soundtrack to the 1971 cult classic film Two-Lane Blacktop, which has most likely increased its popularity to some degree.
There is a noted Dixieland Jazz feel to Arlo's rendition, which gives it a "singalong" feel; even when you have the record playing you get the compulsion to sing with everyone, even when you're by yourself with headphones on. Arlo Guthrie's music and attitude though is as such; his style is so inclusive to anyone listening. Just join in the chorus and become part of the song.
