Release Notes:
--------
This collaboration of roots pop married couple Guthrie and Irion with Jeff
Tweedy and Patrick Sansone continues the bond of the Wilco musicians with the
Guthrie family first established with 1998 and 2000Æs Mermaid Ave. projects. It
was then that Tweedy took Woody GuthrieÆs unpublished lyrics and set them to new
music. The approach here is different since Guthrie and Irion are more aligned
with roots pop than rugged folk. Nowhere is that more clear than on the opening
track; the playful, jaunty singalong ôChairman Meowö (not surprisingly the name
of a cat), the discÆs first single. The albumùthe duoÆs thirdû is divided
between sunshiny, often West Coast styled strummy pop and a darker, more
meditative style, the latter likely heightened by the influence of the Wilco
guysÆ more eclectic, experimental nature. There isnÆt much here musically to
connect the dots between the more earthy sound of GuthrieÆs dad Arlo or
grandfather Woody. But the sheer songwriting quality and the craft of the
production that occasionally adds strings, pianos, and extra reverb is clearly
the work of musicians who take their jobs seriously, even in the most romantic
moments of ôWherever She Is ItÆs Spring.ö

Irion displays his inner John Lennon on ôProbably Goneö and the twosome finds a
deep swamp groove highlighted by creepy strings and guitar dissonance on ô9 Out
of 10 Times.ö The slight funk undercurrent that runs through ôNot Feeling Itö
and the 70s country pop whimsy of the incongruously titled ôLowest Ebbö  inject
spirited elements into an album that captures Guthrie and IrionÆs remarkable
melodic strengths and marries them to Tweedy and SansoneÆs sympathetic and
beautifully shaped production.
