Dropkick Murphys recently concluded their acoustic journey with Woody Guthrie, returning to their electrifying live performances. Now, they’re celebrating this chapter with a new documentary, This Machine Rising—a film that delves into the world of working-class music. The documentary captures the band’s exploration of Woody Guthrie’s lyrics, including the writing, recording, and touring process for their two acoustic albums, This Machine Still Kills Fascists and Okemah Rising. These albums breathe new life into previously unrecorded Guthrie lyrics, setting them to Dropkick Murphys’ music and drawing attention to issues that remain relevant today.
