Not sure if this will be of interest to anyone but MC Taylor has been singing in the Jason Molina tribute group Songs: Molina. There's a great multicamera recording on YouTube now. I can't embed since it's a YT playlist so here's a hyperlink!

 

That's an unexpected surprise. In a very good way.

Yeah, I assumed we wouldn't get another HGM album for a few more years!

I'd love to know what his connection with Mississippi is. Lateness of Dancers, which he titled one of their albums, is taken from "Delta Wedding," a Eudora Welty short story. That's about when I discovered HGM. Then there's a song called "Biloxi" on Heart Like a Levee. And the new album has a song called "Gulfport You've Been on My Mind." Gulfport is a city next to Biloxi and is my hometown. At least I assume he's talking about Gulfport, Mississippi.

He addressed his fascination with that region in a recent interview, I think in Uncut.
