Dropkick Murphys bring new life to Woody Guthrie lyrics on ”This Machine Still Kills Fascists.”

Dropkick Murphys have been fusing Celtic folk sounds with punk rock for over 20 years. Their musical style has always been inspired by working class issues, with songs like I’m Shipping Up to Boston The State of Massachusetts, and Worker’s Song. Recently the band took on a new project of re-working unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics and giving them new life. The band met in his home state of Oklahoma to record. The result is their first all acoustic album that blends their musical styles with the folk-hero musings of Woody Guthrie. I had a chance to chat with the band about this project, I hope you dig it!
