Way Over Yonder In A Minor Key
I recently snagged bunch of Mermaid Ave demos. I think I like them more than the album tracks in some cases. I know from the Bragg bio and the Man In The Sand DVD that there were some "creative differences" between Stephen William Bragg and Mr Tweedy, so are these really just demos or are they the disputed mixes? If I remember correctly, Billy's versions made it onto the CD. With a smirk I think about how Mr "I lean Left" Fair Trade and Justice got to play Stalin on the project. Nevertheless, I think some of the Guthrie/Bragg/Wilco songs are about the best ever in the Bragg canon. And I've even warmed up to baby-faced evil genius, Jeff Tweedy. (I used to always skip his tracks). But maybe it's not that I like him any more, I just appreciate Woody more?
