iTunes Review
In the psychedelic '60s, Arlo Guthrie, son of folk titan Woody Guthrie, emerged as a puckish counterculture icon, largely on the merit of this album and its far-flung title track. Clocking in at 18-plus minutes and eating up the first side of the original vinyl LP, Alice's Restaurant became a staple of freeform radio in the '60s and '70s, a side-splittingly funny, shaggy-dog story that rambled over the Vietnam War, military draft, police harassment, and longhairs running afoul of the legal system. Although the issues are dated, Guthrie's superb comedic timing - complete with spaced-out, stoned lapses - remains every bit as funny now as it was in 1967. The remaining half-dozen tracks show an ambitious sweep of musical styles, ranging from ragtime-tinged jug band tunes and fey, delicate folk, with a tiny dash of acid rock to spice things up. Also included is the short original version of "The Motorcycle Song," which in its later live incarnation would become Arlo's other great comic masterpiece.

Alice's Resaurant
by Music FinnGet over it @ $10.00 if you can't spend the money or don't want to then move on and buy other music if you do not want this one track in your collection. If you value it buy the collection.
Has anyone at iTunes or Warner Brothers looked at these comments?
by Reverend NADThere have been comments complaining about having to purchase the whole album for The Massacree since 2005. I am sure that most people did not get the whole album (and did not spend $10) but would agree to pay $3.50 for the one song they wanted. This is stupid business!
I Still Love Alice - It's worth the album price.
by PSColemanI bought Alice's Restaurant the first time in 1968 on vinyl.
I've bought 2 more copies on vinyl, at least one on cassette, one on reel-to-reel tape, 2 CDs and now an electronic copy. I make sure to always keep a copy around and play it once or twice a year because it's good for maintaining sanity and perspective ... and it still makes me giggle.
I don't understand all those these reviews complaining about the extra $9 to buy the album. They must all be Yankees with ancestors from Scotland.
