  • It's All in the Family for Arlo Guthrie
    It’s all in the family for Arlo Guthrie hvy.com/peterjoneswriter/arlo-guthrie-interview Peter Jones April 26, 2019 Play “Six Degrees of Arlo Guthrie” and you can connect “Heartbreak Hotel” to “This Land is Your Land” in a couple of steps. As it turns out, the son of Woody Guthrie has more than the godfather of 20th century American folk music in his family tree. It seems that he and singer- songwriter Hoyt Axton are distant cousins with family roots in rural Oklahoma “We’d been friends since the late ‘60s since we met at the LA Troubadour, and decades later we found out that one of Hoyt’s mom’s ancestors had married one of my great grandfather’s brothers or Courtesy of Arlo Guthrie something,” Arlo Guthrie recalled. Music trivia experts know where this is leading. Axton’s mother Mae co-wrote the song that would become Elvis Presley’s first hit for RCA Records in 1956. Those Guthrie-Axtons know how to write. “We were very prolific as a family. We got a lot of relatives out there,” said Guthrie, whose children – as well as Axton’s – have carried on the musical tradition. For Arlo’s part, he filled the family chest with “Coming into Los Angeles” and the epic musical, mostly true, monologue “Alice’s Restaurant” while still living in the shadow of his larger-than-life father. “I’ve never shied away from being Woody Guthrie’s kid. I’ve kind of enjoyed it. It’s been fun,” the singer-songwriter said. “I had a lot more success than he had, frankly – I mean commercial success.
