"The perfect pair to conclude that Gutherie, far from a predictable Popular Front totem, was a prophetic rock-and-roller with a whole lot to say." — The New York Times
On the acclaimed Mermaid Avenue albums, Billy Bragg and Wilco put music to lyrics by folk legend Woody Guthrie for which he had not written music or made recordings. Tweedy and Bragg were "the perfect pair to conclude that Guthrie ... was a prophetic rock-and-roller with a whole lot to say," said the New York Times. "All he needed was a band and a little freedom." This third volume, released in conjunction with Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions 3CD+DVD set in 2012, comprises 17 previously unreleased recordings from the original sessions. The double LP, 180-gram vinyl edition was pressed at Pallas manufacturing in Diepholz, Germany, for Black Friday 2013.
