adamt82 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ok, so im not really in the need for new Wilco material, as their amazing new album just came out, but I noticed on the Woody Guthrie at 100 website that a new Mermaid Ave. "box set" will be released next spring. I wonder what the bands' involvement was, if any. Will there be new recordings? Woody's music, along with the Mermaid Ave. albums were/and are an important part of my life, especially when they came out. Anyways, just thought id mention it. It may have been posted before.

Guest Hollinger. Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Jay Farrar, Jim James, Will Johnson and Anders Parker have been recording stuff for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamt82 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 The link to the Woody Guthrie website, http://www.woody100.com/newreleases.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamt82 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hollinger, it looks like that will be a seperate release than the mermaid ave. "box set" mentioned on the link I posted. IDK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Bodnia Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 About a year ago Billy Bragg mentioned the possibility of doing Mermaid Avenue 3, to coincide with Woodie Guthrie's centenary in 2012. According to Bragg: "There's another 12 tracks that you haven't heard yet. We're trying to get them out for Woody's centenary in 2012."

Ghost of Electricity Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The Guthrie website link lists Nonesuch as the label. So that's old stuff. Plus, if they were recording something new, I'm sure we would have got wind of it by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

i'm only sleeping Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I beleive Jeff's exact words were "Billy is so full of shit". How does this match with Jeff recently ( ) introducing Billy as a 'member of the extended Wilco family'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky speaks Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Does anyone remember the post from Spencer Tweedy on his blog last fall about a trip to New Mexico or some such state in the South West that the Tweedy's took that he was not allowed to speak about other than that they were there? Could some sort of weekend recording seesion been held related to new Mermaid Ave. material? Just a thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember that, but could that have been the Sessions for the Deerhoof/Raccoonists single? The Woody Guthrie site now lists a March 2012 release month for the Mermaid Ave. Box Set.
