Albert Tatlock Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 [ Ride Out finds Seger working with collaborators such as Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, John Hiatt and Steve Earle on his usual fare of guitar-driven mid-tempo jams. His collaboration with Tweedy, a cover of famed folk singer Woody Guthrie’s California Stars, is one of the highlights of the album. It is a tastefully done version of a song that did not need much changing from its original. Seger imbues Guthrie’s lyrics with a sense of wonder and longing, and Tweedy provides able backing vocals and harmonies. The instrumentation is gorgeously spare as well. Seger has never extensively dabbled in synths, and he knows exactly how to arrange these songs to showcase music and vocals.http://www.dukechronicle.com/articles/2014/10/16/music-review-ride-out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalafej Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 dude did not collaborate on the track with Tweedy did he? I figured he just covered it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BadScooter Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Pretty sure he just covered it. There was a short video of him discussing the track, maybe on Yahoo, where he makes no mention of Tweedy, just how it was recorded "Live" in studio with his band taking solos wherever they felt.

nalafej Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 He played it in Chicago at the United Center last tour. I was there. He told a long story about hearing it on the radio and wanting to record it. No mention of Wilco...in their home town. Found that very strange. I wonder if he know who Wilco is.
