Billy Bragg and Wilco got together to record some lyrics by Woody Guthrie that he never recorded before he died. You have to wonder what he would have thought of these, and also what his versions of these songs would have sounded like.
Of course I like the Wilco songs a bit better than the Bragg songs, but they are all good. Natalie Merchant's vocals on "Birds and Ships" are good too. Among my favorite tracks here are "California Stars," "Walt Whitman's Niece" and "One By One."
A very nice, relaxing album. I would especially recommended this if you are into Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning.
Fantastic partnership in re-imagining the work of Woody Guthrie. Wilco offsets the folksy dead-pan approach of Billy Bragg well in alternating tracks. Sometimes it comes close to hitting the mark, and others they hit a home run. Highlights - California Stars, Ingrid Bergman, Christ for President, and especially Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key. Dy-no-mite.
