Billy Bragg teamed up with Wilco to record selected songs from Woody Guthrie's back catalogue. And the result is pretty amazing.
I really did not enjoy the previous Billy Bragg album on the List, but I have been consistently impressed with Wilco. They are not the musical dream team that I would personally assemble, but they actually really work well together here. The arrangements here are just simple and easy to listen to, with "Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key" being my personal favorite.
A really great tribute to a legend.
RATING: 5/5
