Product Details
The sessions that produced both Mermaid Avenue volumes came from a treasure trove of unrecorded lyrics held by Guthrie's daughter Noora Lee, who entrusted Bragg and Tweedy with the task of giving them breath. Where Vol. I leaned toward the accessible, Vol. II cuts deeper, with rawer arrangements and a wider emotional range, making it the set that longtime Guthrie devotees tend to reach for first.
Released in 2000, Mermaid Avenue Vol. II continued Billy Bragg and Wilco’s acclaimed collaboration, setting more previously unheard Woody Guthrie lyrics to new music. This 2-LP 180-gram vinyl pressing features “Airline to Heaven,” “Remember the Mountain Bed,” “Someday Some Morning Sometime” and more. Spanning folk, country, blues and rock, the 15-track album expanded the musical world of the Mermaid Avenue series.
