And Make It Snappy: The Klezmatics and "Come When I Call You"



Today's song, at least the lyrics, were penned by the great American songwriter and performer Woody Guthrie. The lyrics never had music to go with it until The Klezmatics came along. Based in New York City and formed in 1986, The Klezmatics are a Grammy award winning group klezmer group that mixes older Yiddish tunes with contemporary styles of music. They have also recorded songs in Aramaic and Bavarian. This song, Come When I Call You, is from their album titled Wonder Wheel (2006).
