Okay, it is settled. Can't get California Stars from Mermaid Avenue out of my head, so that's the summer soundtrack. What sealed the deal for me is that the song comes from an album of previously unheard lyrics written by Woody Guthrie then set to contemporary music by Billy Bragg and Wilco.
It was a risky venture but surprised everyone when the album met universal acclaim. What an amazing collaboration. If you've not heard the album, I recommend you check it out. No, this isn't a new album. Came out in 1998, but this isn't exactly a blog all about new things.
"I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight.
On a bed of California stars...."
Have a great week!
