Free Music Notes for Mermaid Avenue Vol. II
Free Music Review: A superb second
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been anticipating for this release for a very long time. I was rather concerned though because I had heard that this realease would be quite a bit different from the original, which I loved. I did go out and but this album on the first morning it was availible. When i heard the first song I knew that this realease would be an excelent follow-up. I was somewhat disapointed that the songs "Bugeye Jim" and "My Thirty-Thousand." I have heard both of thease, and they are great songs! This record contains immense variety from the Loud and rough "All you Facists" and "Meanest Man" to the soft and beatiful "Remember the Mountain Bed" and "Someday Some Morning Sometime" and the strange "Hot Rod Hotel." Wilco's pop music that was found on "Summer Teeth" Is also somewhat evident here. I encourage you to buy this release. You will not regret a minute of itFree Music Review: Roger Wilco- Woody Lives !

Anyone who liked the first Wilco-Bragg-Guthrie collaboration can't miss this one either. The first one blew me away on first listening, well same goes here. Mermaid Ave. II starts right off with Wilco at their best, rollicking away complete with 12 string guitars, mellotrons, saws and shakers. I won't go over each song but safe to say the songs are great and the album works on many levels never ignoring the great Woody Guthrie lyrics. Its pretty amazing how they bring Guthries lyrics alive and how fresh it all sounds. Well who thought they could follow up Mermaid I but hand it to the boys Mermaid II is a must have.Free Music Review: Not just another wilco record

previous reviewers have suggested that wilco's new studio savy has influenced this record. That is wrong. This is more a Bragg record than a wilco record.....with a strange dylanesque vibe. i find it thrilling to listen to an artists version of woody's words. Imagine yourself with the responsibility of putting music to some Bruce Springsteen lyrics, or try this....read some ....say....Robbie Robertson lyrics to a song you've never heard and try putting a tune to it. I love this stuffFree Music Review: Not just another wilco record

I got this as a present from a friend. I still don't quite like Wilco, but I learned to like Bragg after this. His sarcasm & reticence combines nicely with Guthrie's lyrics. Great songs to shout along to in the car, especially Joe DiMaggio. Black Wind Blowing is sad but well suited to being played very loud.
