Editorial Reviews

Brand new release from a cadre of musical brothers finally coalescing after years on the road apart, Jay Farrar (Son Volt, Gob Iron, Uncle Tupelo), Will Johnson (Centro-matic, South San Gabriel), Anders Parker (Varnaline, Gob Iron) and Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket, Monsters of Folk- aka Jim James) gratefully deliver New Multitudes, an intimate interpretation of American icon and musical legend Woody Guthrie's previously unrecorded lyrics. What makes this album such a rarity in today's music world is the allowance of the songs infectious simplicity to stand alone in all their glory. In doing so, Farrar, Johnson, Parker, and Yames have paid the greatest compliment to Woody Guthrie and the collaborative spirit he so greatly embodied. This is an album which seamlessly converges the sepia-toned essence of the time honored past with the risks needed to forge the future. These 4 singer songwriters will hit the road for a string of dates to promote this release.

great job all

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

Thanks for the group as a whole for capturing the perfect essence of old time Guthrie and where we are now. Everyone nailed it. i'm sure this was a labor of love for all.
As a long time Centro fan i have to rave about Will's contributions. VD City supplies the perfect amount of grit to the collection, Chorine is surrealistically beautiful (and sad) while No Fear brings back memories of the early Centro clapping songs (fans will know what i mean, its a huge compliment).
Of course, Jay is Jay. The modern day Guthrie. Careless Reckless Love is probably arranged just as Guthrie would have done it himself. Have to admit I wasn't familiar with Andes Parker and Varnaline before but I sure am now. Fly High is very pretty and Old LA and Angel's Blue are the sort of songs that stick in your mind the rest of the day.
The most creative song is Yim Yames My Revolutionary Mind. Outstanding. An amazing gathering of today's best song writers who could feel the heart of Guthrie's music. It's wonderful when such creative people, including Woody, get together.

Great music!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 5, 2013

If you're familiar with the Mermaid Avenue releases by Wilco & Billy Bragg, then you're familiar with the idea: musicians completing and recording incomplete Woody Guthrie songs. Here the group is Jim James (My Morning Jacket - probably the biggest name here), Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt) Anders Parker (Varnaline), and Will Johnson (sorry, the name of his main band escapes me). I'm a fan of all four musicians individually, and they've put together an excellent release with this album.

There are a lot of beautiful vocal harmonies, and the mood overall is mostly laid-back folk rock with some alternative sensibilties thrown in. Just a beautiful, beautiful album. Plus you have the added benefit of the quirks and humor and feeling of Woody Guthrie lyrics thrown in. Great stuff!

Good stuff

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2012

This will be compared to Mermaid Ave. and probably even Monsters of Fok. I personally like the artists on this disc a bit more (very happy to see Will Johnson on here), and like the more somber tone of the songs and arrangements here. Personally, I find some of Jay Farrar's songs to be the weakest (I'd say the first track is the low point of the album). He can be very droning, in both his vocals and the mid-tempo, samey-sounding songs that he has gravitated to more recently. I always enjoy Jim James, and Anders fits in nicely.

Some Good, Some Bad and the Further Disintegration of My Morning Jacket's "Yim Yames"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

When you round up four musicians to write music to and sing songs individually, I guess a mixed bag is to be expected. Jay Farrar and Will Johnson both have moments of excellence and horror. "Hoping Machine", "Chorine My Sheba Queen" and "New Multitudes" by them are the best tracks on this album. However, Farrar's "Careless Reckless Love" is pretty weak and on "V.D. City", Johnson sounds like that jerk from Social Distortion trying to sing a Gin Blossoms song. *Shudders*. Anders Parker's songs are boring mediocrity. Jim James' songs are okay and he at least tries the hardest to bring something unique to the table but his are further proof that he has decided to dive head first into self parody and that there may be no looking back. I'm finding it more and more difficult to believe that the beginning of his art's downward spiral and the use of his new moronic moniker taking place nearly at the same time is a coincidence. Jim James: brilliant singer, songwriter and musician. A true artist. Yim Yames: falsetto Kermit the Frog singing comedy country songs to children.

Should give all fans a Woody...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

This album is one awesome collection of songs and don't even think to compare it to that self-indulgent and tame Monsters of Folk compilers. This captures the essence of arguably rock and roll's most influential folkie songwriter and is under the guidance and name of the better half of Uncle Tupelo. Jay does everything better.

I can't find any weak tracks here. Quality alt-folk electric at its finest. Can't get enough of Jay's brand of Americana rock and roll and since we are what we eat, Woody Guthrie inspiration beats the hell out of the Beatles or the Stones any day.

new multitudes solid piece of work

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

I wouldnt exactly call it a great album,but New Multitudes,the project that includes Jay Farrar and Yim Yames, is a fairly good batch of songs written around Woody Guthrie lyrics.I was a little surprised that Jay Farrar would do this so soon after recording a similar album with Ben Gibbard based on Jack Kerouak lyricsI thought that record was better,but then Jay wrote all the music for that one and I really like his music. I guess He can do whatever he sees fit. Also recommend getting the deluxe edition,for the 12 songs on it are all good,though the tracks are more hastily recorded. Farrar and Anders parker do all the songs on it.

Listen twice thru and be amazed!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 7, 2012

Verified Purchase

First of all, let me say Woody Guthrie rocks and it is a daunting task trying to find the right lyrics, then set music to a legend's words. This is an all-star cast of musicians who took real care of preserving the right tone/intent of the writer while creating some great music. From "Hoping Machine" to "New Multitudes", the tracks are solid to superb. Lastly, I just saw the first live show of their tour and the songs are even better live. Thanks to Yames (My Morning Jacket), Parker (Varnaline), Johnson (Centro-Matic) and Farrar (Son Volt/Uncle Tupelo) for delivering something with real depth and character.

OK on first listen, but, like REM's music, the songs snuck up on me. after listening to it casually a number of times, i think "what a great song" after each track.

Woody

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on March 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

Son VoltのJay Farrer、Centro-MaticのWill Johnson、My Morning JacketのYim James、VarnalineのAnders Parkerによるプロジェクト。
Woody Guthrieの詩に４人がメロディをつけたもの。
Woodyは様々なフォーク系アーティストに影響を与えたレジェンドだが、もちろんこの４人にも多大な影響を与えており、当人達にとっては相当気合いの入ったプロジェクトなんでしょう。
まぁ予想通り、弾き語りを軸としたフォークアルバムで各々バンドの色もちらほらあるが、基本は簡素なフォークバラッド集。
通常盤は４人が３曲づつリードを分け合っているが、２枚組盤の２枚目はJayとAndersによる11曲が収められている。
２人のボーカルの魅力が素晴らしく、どうせなら２枚組盤が良い。
アコギ、ハーモニカ、乾いたエレキギターに、両名の男臭い、孤高のボーカルが映える。

Guthrie still lives on

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

Firstly a gripe- when I pre ordered this album only this edition was available, the deluxe version wasn't even mentioned, now is this possibly ameans of trying to extract more cash from me....?

Anyway, the music, the lyrics, yes the lyrics, the ones left behind by the great revolutionary folk meister Mr W. Guthrie.Because Jay et al have drawn inspiration from Mr Guthrie, same was done by Jays old mate, Jeff Tweedy along with Billy Bragg on the album 'Mermaid Avenue'. A bunch of words, written in the 1930s, that had never previously been put to music.This album being released 100 years since Guthrie was born, it is clearly intended to be a devotional album in every sense and part of Jays lifelong love of Guthries work.

Jay Farrars musical career is littered with Guthrie references, such as naming a Son Volt album after Guthries birthtown.

But the addition of music is done without any attempt to engender these lyrics with that traditional folksy lilt that Guthrie always had. These songs have a very modern, alt americana feel (what else!). Yim Yames vocals are superb, Jay adds the inevitable twang, with Will Johnson and Anders Parker each adding an authentic alt country element to the album. Each artiste gets three songs each to sing, with the others adding harmonies along with instrumental accompaniment.

I have little doubt that the music is quite far removed from what Guthrie would have envisaged, but thats not really the point, its the timelessness of Guthries words that are the highpoint of this album.

This album doesn't push any boundaries, in fact it plays it fairly safe , some of the arrangements being fairly basic, is this possibly deliberate? Possibly so, with the likelihood being the four contributors wanting to give respect where its due? Farrar, when asked how did they arrive at the music replied "A connection would jump out with a certain set of lyrics or notes and the music would just be there", this after the four had spent some time sifting through the archives and imbuing themselves with Guthries politics and philosophy. So we have four musicians who have taken the project very seriously and conjured up a fine album, thats heartfelt and imbued with integrity.

It will not blow you away, well not musically anyway, but if it introduces a new generation to Guthries work, or maybe re-affirms its importance to an older generation then this album has done its job.

But do yourself a favour- get the de-luxe edition, its got an additional 11 tracks for just a few quid more

Erstmal ein grosses Kompliment an Nora Guthrie,die Nachlassverwalrein von Woody Guthrie.Das Archiv mit Tausenden Liedern wird gelegentlich geöffnet und auserlesenen Musikern zur Verfügung gestellt.Die ersten beiden Alben waren von Wilco und Billy Bragg(Mermaid avenue 1 und 2),die nächste war eine New Yorker Klezmer Band(Die Klezmatics).Beide find ich ausgesprochen gelungen.
Diesmal sind es 4 Americana Veteranen-unter anderem Jay Farrar(Uncle Tupelo,Son Volt) und Jim James(My morning Jacket) die sich des Textmaterials annehmen.Es sind eher persönliche Lieder,die von Liebe,Mut,dem Leben allgemein handeln.
Warmherzig,entspannt,souverän,ohne jedes überflüssige Gedöns.
Musik zum Zurücklehnen und entspannen,die Texte sind zeitlos,und die Musik eigentlich genauso.
Absolute Empfehlung.
