MERMAID AVENUE: THE COMPLETE SESSIONS
Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions is a 2012 box set album featuring the lyrics of American folk musician Woody Guthrie set to music by English folk rock guitarist Billy Bragg and American alternative rock band Wilco. The set contains all the tracks from the previously released Mermaid Avenue (1998) and Mermaid Avenue, Vol. II (2000) as well as a third disc of outtakes from the original album sessions. Nonesuch Records released the album for Record Store Day to commemorate Guthrie’s 100th birthday. In addition to the three albums, the box set includes the documentary Man in the Sand about the making of the Mermaid Avenue project. (More from Wikipedia)
Mermaid Avenue, Vol. II followed in 2000; “All You Fascists” was originally released on this album. A box set that collected the two earlier CD’s with a third disc of additional music was released in 2012 and called Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions.
