Wilco
Mermaid Avenue
Good Collaboration
Review Score:
(10/10)Billy Bragg and Wilco did an excellent job with these "lost" lyrics by Woody Guthrie. I enjoy all of the songs, but my favorites are "Walt Whitman's Niece", "Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key", and "California Stars." Get this album I don't think you'll be dissapointed.
