The talented and creative Bradley Powell is the Candlelight Guitarist. His music is original and some of the most soul soothing I have ever heard.

Bob McKillop, founder and publisher, MaineFolkMusic.com
Brad Powell is a talented and highly trained California guitarist and composer who calls himself The Candlelight Guitarist, and for good reason. His music is perfect for situations in which candlelight figures prominently. Quiet meditation, romance, intellectual stimulation – the soft, pure tones of his Spanish and classic instrumental style open up your heart and render it more receptive to the spiritual messages that these pursuits engender.

It is one of the United States' most famous folk songs. Its lyrics were written in 1940 in critical response to Irving Berlin's God Bless America. Its melody is based on a Carter Family tune called When the World's on Fire. When Guthrie was tired of hearing Kate Smith sing God Bless America on the radio in the late 1930s, he sarcastically called his song God Blessed America for Me before renaming it This Land Is Your Land. In 2002, This Land Is Your Land was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. In 2021, it was listed at No. 229 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
