Lots of great folk-rooted and folk-branched music on Saturday Morning this week with Mike Regenstreif. The extended feature, "New Songs of Woody Guthrie," celebrates the release of “Mermaid Avenue” by Billy Bragg & Wilco, 20 years ago today (June 23, 1998). It was the first album of “new” Woody Guthrie songs created by contemporary artists with lyrics found in the Woody Guthrie Archives – a project spearheaded by Nora Guthrie, Woody’s daughter.

The sessions are recorded at the Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts, a former church that was built in 1890 and that is located in Ottawa's Lowertown. The goal of the Saint Brigid's Sessions is to capture live unplugged performances by artists in as technically minimal and unobtrusive manner as possible in order to capture a natural sound in what really is a magnificent sounding space.
