Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg & Wilco

Release date: June 23, 1998
Label: Elektra
EAN: 00 7559 62204 2 2
Format: CD
Tribute to: Woody Guthrie
Comments: A project initiated by Guthrie's daughter Nora, who had a collection of his completed lyrics, but with no music or just musical ideas attached. Wilco and Bragg were honored to be asked to set a number of those works to music. Strangely enough, Arlo Guthrie seems to not have been asked.
