- There are many versions of this Woody Guthrie song but I have always liked this live version by Ry Cooder and David Lindley. Their twin guitars drain every bitter drop of poignancy from those desperate times. Magical guitar work from the maestros.
The art work is from a Depression Art Gallery:

ANOTHER BRILLIANT SONG FROM RY & DAVID
MAKES YOUR SPINE TINGLE ---WHAT ABSOLUTE JOY!
Same times today, worse than ever. What a song. Woody’s deadliest, Cooder and Lindley’s darkest
Two of the best exponents of real and deep americana music...truth maestros !!!
Heads up, folks .. we are heading in this direction once again .. poignant, rich and tragic song .. when performed without ego by two such fine artists, why it is visceral in its message
A wonderful piece of music indeed. The guitar playing is amazing. Only started listening to Ry Cooder lately and I'm absolutely hooked now.
just a brain snapper of a track by two superb musicians, a superb cover
Best song ever.
I have loved Ry since I was in blue jeans in the 70's/ and David Lindley from Jackson Browne (Mountain Air '78) all the way to today...this is incredible music to me...I need more like it; I bow down to TheMighty Tubesh! More please...tbear111
I have learned that song on the guitar, yet every time I hear that version, I am truly humbled!! Ry is always great; add Lindsey and my skin crawl, big time..
Thanks
Thank you!
Thanks for uploading this. So Open Blues
...that sound - you neve forget it ... (and serious matters allways counts - whenever)...
This was my go-to song for cruising the Dust Bowl in my beat-to-hell Model T with an ass pocket full of rot gut corn whiskey and nothing but a worn old Colt 1911 for a traveling companion.
Excellent work with the visuals! Always excellence from Ry & Mr. Dave, but you are right, this one is special.
superb

Vigilante Man
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I been hearin' his name all over the land.
Well, what is a vigilante man?
Tell me, what is a vigilante man?
Has he got a gun and a club in his hand?
Is that is a vigilante man?
Rainy night down in the engine house,
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse,
Man come along an' he chased us out in the rain.
Was that a vigilante man?
Stormy days we passed the time away,
Sleepin' in some good warm place.
Man come along an' we give him a little race.
Was that a vigilante man?
Preacher Casey was just a workin' man,
And he said, "Unite all you working men."
Killed him in the river some strange man.
Was that a vigilante man?
Oh, why does a vigilante man,
Why does a vigilante man
Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand?
Would he shoot his brother and sister down?
I rambled 'round from town to town,
I rambled 'round from town to town,
And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle.
Was that the vigilante men?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I've heard his name all over this lan
poster is right -- best rendition hands down.
Awesome accompanying photo montage', awesome and terrifying. "Working men, keep going----we can't take care of our own. Chamber of Commerce". It could happen again. Another crash seems likely, sooner rather than later, and it'll probably be bigger than the last one. Because, to paraphrase another song Ry is famous for, "The Very Thing That Makes THEM Rich, Will Make US Poor". Will we finally get to "eat the rich" this time, or bail them out once again? For the answer, see Ry's song "No Banker Left Behind".....
very good- thanks a lot!!!!
Heads up, folks .. we are heading in this direction once again .. poignant, rich and tragic song .. when performed without ego by two artists, it is visceral in its message
Man's got "Soul"
Mr Dave and Ryland |Peter ..what could be better
great song,great images. do we like it because those times are gone, not to be spoken of and then forgot, der traum recommenced, or because we think theyll come again, all to live (if we may) over again?
A bit of both, I think. If it happens again, God help us. Americans better find a way to stick together, rather than tear ourselves apart.
Incredibly powerful song, and the slide show was almost as good. But it would have way more impact it the mindless banter at the beginning was edited out.
I love their mindless banter!
That mindless banter is awesome, ppl love to actually hear a story from artists before a song. I liked it, made me smile real wide
I always thought that Mr Dave would make a good extra in a western ...like a Gabby Hayes ...
Great version of one of the slightly better Guthrie songs.
Flock off
The times coming will b e worse because people believe in nothing greater than themselves now .....
I meant David Lindsey!
was this from a bootleg LP or CD? I'd love to get a copy....
I've been trying to source this album. Any advice ??
damn phone 🏞
Yeah, I saw him. He shot that kid in Florida and got away with it.
