Well, A Free Man is going to have a little more free time available (I’ll get to that post soon, I promise). One of the things I’d like to do with that free time is to get back to more frequent music blogging. So, let’s get started with that, shall we?

A Free Man favorite Wilco has released an internet only cover of Woody Guthrie’s “The Jolly Banker”. The band are asking for a minimum $2 donation with proceeds going to the Woody Guthrie Foundation and Archives.

Wilco’s newest LP is due in June and we’ve gotten a glimpse at the new album art – camelicious. (Thanks to Dave from Ramblings)

Speaking of Wilco, the latest effort from fraternal Florida act Dish puts me in mind of Tweedy and Co. “Ma Raison De Vivre Ton Amour” is their debut full-length and at its best has that fluid, meandering style that Wilco has made into an art form. Dish stops well short of being derivative, however, with drummer Nathaniel Aguilar’s ‘junk-gypsy found percussion’ giving the album a raw and rattling sound that’s nicely tempered by Jay Bellerose and Jen Condos’ polished production. Definitely worth a listen.
