i'm not sure...this song is from previously unreleased woody guthrie lyrics

 

see if this link works better

Nope. YouTube is also blocked. Damned "activist" IT guy. And I still forgot to check that link out at home.

 

Anyhow, Bragg&Wilco didn't do this particular song. But they did release a whole album of previously unreleased Guthrie material

 

"Mermaid Avenue is a 1998 albumof previously unheard lyrics written by American folk singer Woody Guthrie, put to music written and performed by British singer Billy Bragg and the American band Wilco"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaid_Avenue"

 

So it sounds like all the fellas from Uncle Tupelo admire old Guthrie material (rightfully so)

Love the steel panther avtar.... :thumbsup:

 

I'll have to check this out, one of the other collaborators is Will Johnson from Centro-Matic, another fantastic band.

 

The Wilco & Billy Bragg Guthrie albums were fantastic. One of my all thime favorite songs is California Stars.

:lol: Thanks. I've been telling anyone who remembers 80's hair metal (Def Leppard , Whitesnake, Motely Crue etc.) either fondly or as a guilty pleasure that they need to check out Steel Panther. How can you not love a band whose drummer is named Stix Zidinia and has a song that begins like this?

 

If you don't golf that's ok

You can be a Tiger anyway

Lie through your teeth when things get tough

or your balls are gonna wind up in the rough!

 

Remember this when you're having fun

Three holes are better than a hole in one

If the word gets out don't be afraid

When a 9 iron's heading for your Escalade

Wilco is my favorite band. Would have loved to have seen Uncle Tupelo . . .

 

Here's Airline to Heaven, another great Guthrie/Wilco/Bragg song.
