These sessions were recorded by Moses "Moe" Asch in New York City.

The tracks for Guthrie's Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child and Nursery Days were from these sessions.

[2] These are included in a list available at the United States Library of Congress titled "Surviving Recordings in the Smithsonian Folklife Archive Made by Woody Guthrie for Moses Asch".

[citation needed] The Smithsonian Folkways label repackaged and arranged these sessions in a series of 4 discs between 1997 and 1999.

The first volume focuses on Guthrie's original compositions,[3] the second on folk and country covers,[4] the third on topical songs,[5] and the fourth on cowboy and western music.
