Product Details

Woody Guthrie left behind thousands of unset lyrics when he died in 1967, and it was Nora Guthrie who unlocked the archive, inviting Billy Bragg and Jeff Tweedy's Wilco to give them melody and life. The pairing was inspired: Bragg's British folk-punk sincerity and Wilco's restless Americana instincts proved a natural fit for Guthrie's words, rooting these songs firmly in the tradition they were always meant to inhabit.

Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions brings together all three volumes of Billy Bragg and Wilco’s celebrated interpretations of previously unheard Woody Guthrie lyrics PLUS 16 previously unreleased tracks, including rare demos, alternate takes and live recordings. New liner notes by Bob Mehr.
