Woody Guthrie's daughter had some unpublished song lyrics, notes and letters from her dad. She sent them to different songwriters and asked them to put them to music. The "lyrics" she sent to Brown was actually a long, freeform love letter that Woody wrote to his wife after meeting her for the first time. He was head-over-heels in love, and it is wild.

What Brown did with it is amazing. Enjoy.
