Arlo Guthrie Alice's Restaurant Reprise [Listen]

No one captured hippie politics better than Woody's twenty-year-old son on the title cut, an autobiographical tall tale that for eighteen minutes reduced pacifist anti-authoritarianism to a diffident, confident, skillfully timed cops-and-longhairs routine. The B side cuts four forgettable song poems with two more jokes, one of them "The Motorcycle Song," not yet the comic turn it became. NB: Guthrie re-recorded the entire album thirty years later. The new "Alice" is four minutes longer - and four minutes funnier.
