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.

Yim Yames, Jay Farrar, Will Johnson & Anders Parker – "Old LA"

There's quite a collection of Americana big dogs at work on this track: Former Uncle Tupelo co-leader and current Son Volt frontman Ja Farrar, My Morning Jacket main man Yim Yames (or, as most of us still know him, Jim James), Centro-matic leader Will Jonson, and Gob Iron guy Anders Parker, as well as the ghost of Woody Guthrie. I'm going to have to add so many tags to this post! Here's the story: Woody Guthrie's daughter Nora invited all these musicians to pick through Guthrie's notebooks of unrecorded songs, the same way Billy Bragg and Wilco did [...]

All-Star Band Touring Behind Woody Guthrie Album

All-Star Band Touring Behind Woody Guthrie Album 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 [...]

Bloggy Goodness: Woody Guthrie's Multitudes

Bloggy Goodness: Woody Guthrie's Multitudes 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 [...]

Editorial: Cornbread Dressing and Live Music Videos

Editorial: Cornbread Dressing and Live Music Videos 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" [...]

Best of the 90's: My Take

Best of the 90's: My Take 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 [...]

And that includes concert announcements, of which there were more than a few yesterday.

Fresh Session : Son Volt on Laundromatinee.com

Fresh Session : Son Volt on Laundromatinee.com 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 [...]

Video Session : Son Volt

Whether Son Volt is rocking out with keyboard solos in "Down to the Wire" or gracefully questioning the idea of freedom with the Tarkio-esque "Dynamite," Farrar's voice almost croons out his lyrics, sounding like 21st century Eddie Vedder. The most noticeable characteristic of the songs in general is their expression of nostalgia and loss for something long gone or maybe even something that never existed. They indeed paint a picture of dust and ruins and leave the listener with a feeling of isolation but not of despair.
