Jim James, Jay Farrar, Will Johnson, and Anders Parker Join Forces for Woody Guthrie Covers
Listen to a sort-of supergroup featuring members of My Morning Jacket, Son Volt, Centro-Matic, and Varnaline put unrecorded Woody Guthrie lyrics to music.
As we previously reported Anders Parker, Jay Farrar, Yim Yames and Will Johnson headed into the studio to record a new batch of Woody Guthrie songs (think Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue) which will be released on the album New Multitudes . Now that we received an album release date of February 28, a tour has been announced. It's unclear if this ensemble is going to get a name, if they are "New Multitudes" or they are simply going to be billed individually. Also unclear [...]
Roughly two and a half years ago we reported that Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt), Jim James (MMJ) and Will Johnson (Centro-matic) had headed into the studio to a record a new batch of songs inspired by Woody Guthrie's unrecorded lyrics, a la Billy Bragg and Wilco's amazing Mermaid Avenue records. According to Paste , the trio were personally invited by Guthrie's granddaughter, Nora, to sift through the songwriter's notebooks and scratch pads to gain insight on the artist and his unfinished work. On February 28, the trio will [...]
Beck I wrote, and deleted, my original Thanksgiving editorial. I'm opting for this instead: a collection of live videos of artists that I like as much as I like cornbread dressing (no, not stuffing, dressing). Happy Thanksgiving. Steve Earle - "I Feel Alright" (Live) Son Volt "Catching On" (Live) Nikki Lane - "Gone, Gone, Gone" (Live) Merle Haggard - "Misery and Gin" (Live) Vern Gosdin "Chiseled in Stone" (Live) Jason Isbell - "Alabama Pines" [...]
Blogophilia 7 was posted in July 2009, and it represents the last mix from the old Dadada site. This is a fun mix with tracks from Ramona Falls , Elliott Brood , Local Natives , Heartless Bastards , Drummer (which was a band full of drummers), and the Dead Prez/Grizzly Bear mashup, Two Weeks of Hip Hop . Go get it while it's there! It will be down in one week. Blogophilia Vol. 7 encoded at 256 VBR (Zip File 151 MB) [...]

Last week, on NPR's All Songs Considered podcast, a panel of critics including ASC regulars Bob Boilen, Robin Hilton, Stephen Thompson, and new commentator Ann Powers discussed the music of the 1990's . The discussion covered their favorite albums, songs, trends, and other topics from the decade. Artists featured included the obvious choices of Nirvana, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, and The Smashing Pumpkins as well as less commercially celebrated acts such as Sebadoh, Cornershop, and Neutral Milk Hotel. I thought it might be fun to weigh in on the debate with my picks for some of [...]

Today's features: catch Son Volt playing a laundromat, the latest single from Lykke Li leaks, and watch videos from Freelance Whales, Grouplove, and Walk the Moon.

Sarah Bowles If there's any upside - and I type this knowing that there's not - to the fact that the holidays are over and it's back to the workaday week, it's that my inbox and RSS reader are once again filling up with interesting news bits (and tonnes of uninteresting ones) rather than lists upons lists and year-end retrospectives. And that includes concert announcements, of which there were more than a few yesterday.

Son Volt is an American band in the same way that Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen are American artists. All three capture a unique part of America's essence by looking at their environment and their inner selves and translating what they see into song without being flamboyantly nationalistic. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, Son Volt find themselves both in the heart of the Midwest and at the gateway to the West. They don't see a land of unlimited potential and bountiful resources like the pioneers before them, however, but rather a divided nation watching its once great [...]

Toronto, it's over. I'm dumping you. We had a good run, but it's been nearly nine years and one of us has to get on with it. As Jay Farrar says, "When in doubt, move on."
