Great job on a great song. Filing it under Billy Bragg is misleading, however. While it is true that this song appeared on the collaborative album Mermaid Avenue, by Billy Bragg & Wilco, this song is all Jeff Tweedy and his band Wilco (apart from the lyrics by Woodie Guthrie). Billy Bragg didn’t contribute a thing.
