“Remember the Mountain Bed” by Billy Bragg and Wilco

Posted on August 20, 2014 by admin

Foster Barker Creative Song of the Day #3: This simple, yet awesome piece of music was developed in 2000 behind words written by Arlo Guthrie way back in the 1940’s. It was created as part of the “Mermaid Avenue” project. Jeff Tweedy and Billy Bragg collaborated to build a collection of songs to accompany previously unheard lyrics from Guthrie’s archives. This song, with it’s beautiful lyrics and instrumental progression, is beautiful in every sense of the word. As the quiet drums build in the background, the song really takes flight, and delivers a tingle up your spine. Another great driving song. Give it a spin!
