2608279, The first Mermaid Avenue album is a classic to my ears Posted by Bombastic, Thu Sep-29-11 12:26 AM
I actually like it more than most if not all of the Wilco albums on that list (and that's not even a slight at their catalog, they've done some stuff I love).
They make beautiful use of those Guthrie lyrics & having a mix of vocalists makes you really appreciate Tweedy's best signing moments on the record (California Stars, At My Window Sad & Loney, and the solo piano Another Man's Done Gone).
Outside of 'Hoodoo Voodoo' the rest is as flawless a 45 or so minutes of music as anybody on it's been a part of in their career to me.
