I don't really understand the Billy Bragg and Wilco parir up. Did they ever rcord at the same time? I don't think I ever hear Billy and Jeff singing together on the same song, except for the last song Unwelcome Guest which is an album hilight. Regardless this is a fine album with some absolutely gorgeous songs. The Woody Guthrie lyrics are beautiful and the arrangements are tight and always in service to the lyric. I enjoy the juxtaposition of Bragg's traditional folky sensibility and Tweedy's modern indie rock take. Not everything works but most of it is a home run. 4 stars
