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.
We've finally got more details and a song from the upcoming Woodie Guthrie tribute album by My Morning Jacket's Jim James, Son Volt's Jay Farrar, Will Johnson from Centro-matic and Varnaline's Anders Parker. New Multitudes features the four musicians interpreting some of Guthrie's unheard lyrics. Below you can stream "Old LA" and find the group's [...]
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 [...]
Um artista que definiu o folk como conhecemos e inspirou a carreira de ícones como Bob Dylan merece reverência e homenagens em seu 100º aniversário. Um quarteto talentoso já assumiu as honras de homenagear Woody Guthrie nessa data especial: Jim James , frontman do My Morning Jacket , Jay Farrar , do Son Volt e ex- Uncle Tupelo , Will Johnson , da Centro-Matic , e Anders Parker , da Varnaline , receberam da filha de Guthrie , Nora , a missão de criar música [...]
To coincide with the 100th birthday of Woody Guthrie, My Morning Jacket's Yim Yames, Son Volt's Jay Farrar, Centro-matic's Will Johnson, and Varnaline's Anders Parker have recorded an album featuring previously unrecorded Guthrie lyrics. Entitled New Multitudes , the LP comprises interpretations on 12 Guthrie compositions, most of which were written during his time in Los Angeles. Says Guthrie's daughter Nora, who sanctioned the project: "Lyric wise, it's a part of the story that is still mostly unknown. From Woody's experiences on LA's skid row to his later years in Topanga Canyon, they are uniquely intimate, and relate two distinctly emotional [...]

Here's something rather special. Remember a few years back (well, 14 to be precise), Billy Bragg and Wilco joined forces to delve deep into the Woody Guthrie archive to create music for some of the hugely influential folk icon's back catalogue. What resulted was Mermaid Avenue (volumes 1 and 2), one of the true great collaborative efforts of recent memory. So it goes, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco's old sparring partner Jay Farrar (formerly of Uncle Tupelo, currently frontman of Son Volt) has teamed up with My Morning Jacket's Yim Yames, Will Johnson (Centro-matic) and Anders Parker (Gob Iron) [...]
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 [...]
