CD#142 #BillyBraggAndWilco #MermaidAvenue 1998 album consisting of melodies written by Billy & Wilco (when Jay Bennett was still a member) to lyrics left behind by Woody Guthrie. There are some really good interpretations here, and always lovely to hear Natalie Merchant too. Still on rotation.

Tonight's song is for every liar trying to pretend that what happened was anything but right wing violence.
With #NightMusic #BillyBraggandWilco
I wish #Godspeed and a very #goodnight

“For your sparkling cocky smile
I have walked a million miles
Begging you to come wed me in the Spring
Why do you my dear delay,
What makes you laugh and turn away?
You’re a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee…”

An old favourite. Hopefully still relevant after all these years. #billybraggandwilco #woodyguthrie
