Twelve, 20-minute episodes tell the story of Bob Dylan and The Band\u2019s performances at the two Woody Guthrie tribute concerts staged in Carnegie Hall on 20 January 1968, and of a controversial song as unknown today as then: Guthrie\u2019s final composition, \u2018Dear Mrs Roosevelt\u2019. Dylan has never reprised the song, and for the first time since 1948 The Dodge Brothers\u2019 Mike Hammond performs the full, uncensored version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Woody Guthrie wrote \u2018Dear Mrs Roosevelt\u2019, and how Bob Dylan rescued it from obscurity twenty years later, reflects the close relationship between \u2018people\u2019s music\u2019 and progressive politics in the United States from the 1930s to the 1960s. No president has been so celebrated in song as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and no First Lady has loved folk music like Eleanor Roosevelt. This is as much their story as it is that of Guthrie, Dylan, and his sidemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
