    Woody Guthrie Sings Folk Songs is a remastered compilation album of American folk songs sung by legend Woody Guthrie accompanied by Lead Belly, Cisco Houston, Sonny Terry, and Bess Lomax Hawes originally recorded for Moses Asch in the 1940s and re-released in 1989 by Folkways Records.

    It was given a rating of four and a half by AllMusic, which described it as "an excellent representation of rural folk music that consolidated Guthrie's position as the newly fashionable genre's main progenitor."[1]
