    Woody Guthrie's daughter Nora invited Americana torchbearers--

    Jay Farrar, Will Johnson, Anders Parker and

    Yim Yames-- to rifle through her father's vault of notebooks and napkins for inspiration so that his lyrics could be fashioned into new songs. The project, known as

    New Multitudes, has taken years to make but was worth the wait. Today's Top Tune is "

    Fly High."
