Hit: 5 Stars
This album can be sumed up in two words, pure beauty. With a colection of emotional tracks like "California Stars" and "Another Man's Done Gone" and then the outlandish songs like "Hoodoo Voodoo", you can almost hear Woody Guthrie crying from heaven at the magnifigance and perfect protrail that Billy Bragg and Wilco have made in this collection. They put their hearts and souls into writing the music track for these poems, and when you listen to it, your soul will feel relived of all worldly possesionsFree Music Review: a must for everyone that appeciates music

This is a classic album! Everyone simply must own this CD! The music touches deeply and "Birds and Ships" can make me weep. I loved the album so much, that my boyfriend and I covered some of the songs and sang them together. Now I have a lovelorn tape to listen to when I think of him. We broke up a while ago, but he still remains the lover in heart. We just cannot work things out in my life now, so when we do work everything out, this album will be playing on my radio with joy and not saddness, as it usually is.Free Music Review: Mermaid Avenue.....Billy Bragg & Wilco channeling Woody Guthrie

The fact that these are songs written by Woody Guthrie in the twilight of his life, while institutionalized, but still prolifically creating, is a big draw. His grown daughter discovered these songs after he died, and recruited Billy Bragg to put them to music; Billy then enlisted Wilco to help bring them to life on an album, and now we get to enjoy this collaboration of three great artists of our time. "California Stars" and "Hoodoo Voodoo" are two especially addictive songs. This album is a must-have.Free Music Review: this one is addictive

The first time I listened to Mermaid Avenue, I didn't quite know what to think. The second time, I kind of liked it. By the third listen, I absolutely loved it and proceeded to listen to it nonstop for quite awhile. The CD ambles along with a compilation of very different songs alternating between Billy Bragg and Jeff Tweedy as vocalists, with Natalie Merchant making a guest appearance. Mermaid Avenue is wonderful, is bound to become a classic, and makes a great addition to anyone's music collection.Free Music Review: Welcome Guests

While Woody Guthrie is quite a capable poet and lyricist (his genius is certainly acknowledged) it becomes evident early on that Billy Bragg and Wilco steal the show. Let's face it, the reason these songs are slowly growing into a "timeless" category is because of the depth and richness of the melodies. This album is also much more focused and powerful than it's successor. There have been rumors of a third installment and hopefully it will be as captivating and as stirring as this volume.
