Quite nice in a Stonesish kind of way, with some more bite it'd earn that 8.

Since Woody Guthrie was one of the world's greatest songwriters, I don't understand why you're withholding your awesome talent from the rest of us. |

Almost 1000 listeners have rated this song ... so, as the politicians say: "American families have spoken"  |

Well, it is a great song and I am glad that you appreciate that too, but I can't quite give it a 9 or 10. Those are reserved for my all time favs. I think 8 is appropriate.  |

I think the comments by calypsus are the best part of this venue, but then again I never tire of 'this is good for the ears' either  |

I have sang this song in jam session in my friends house. At that point I just knew that it was a unreleased Woody Guthrie song. It was picked up and made famous by Wilco. But trust me Woody Guthrie, the original writer, would have done a great job if he had sang it. And has anyone seen how much music Woody Guthrie actually wrote? Check out Jonatha Brooke (Spelling?). She did an entire album of unreleased Woody songs.

They make sense to me. Resistance is futile; he raised his rating from 7 to 8. Or maybe he found a hatband. |

this song just "paints" a picture in my mind... no matter where I go in this world it will always remind me of the place I grew up... home... California.

When I was living in Florida and dreaming of California, this song was all that kept me together. And now, finally, I'm back. Thanks Billy Bragg and Wilco.

Nice set Bill! It's a keeper! From "Hotel California" to D Alvin's "King of California", to Woody Guthrie's "California Stars" (as performed by Bragg and Wilco). The theme is not just California ... it is that tragic but hopeful diaspora in the past of every Californian. It is the story of both my parents (from opposite parts of the world) ... and why they met in California, and why I was born. Kudos Bill ... from sunny Los Angeles!  |
