Recorded in New York between 1944 and 1949. Includes liner notes by Guy Logsdon and Jeff Place.
What's surprising about LONG WAYS TO TRAVEL is not that these 17 tracks have never been released before, nor even that they're of such uniformly high quality (Woody Guthrie was seemingly incapable of an uninspired or unengaging performance), but that this album, unwittingly, like a folk concept record.
LONG WAYS TO TRAVEL is an apt title for this collection, as most of these 1944-1949 tracks have travel as an explicit or implicit theme. Whether as resigned as the opening "Hard Travelin'" or as gloriously hopeful as the closing title track, the characters populating these songs are traveling to a new and hopefully better place. As a result, the historical "Harriet Tubman's Ballad" and the fanciful "Rocky Mountain Slim and Desert Rat Shorty" have a shared humanity that enriches every track.

Long Ways To Travel: The Unreleased Folkways Masters 1944-1949 songs
$12.95
Yes folks, Mudhoney is back -- three years after the near-fatal one-two punch of Matt Lukin's resignation from the band and Reprise Records dropping the group from their roster, the founding fathers of grunge have shaken off the dust and recorded Since We've Become Translucent, which oddly enough sounds a bit like the adventurous major-label project the band never bothered to make for Bugs Bunny. Mudhoney still ranks low on the slickness meter on Since We've Become Translucent (the entire album was recorded in eight days), but the band sounds at once heavier and more confident than it did during its major-label tenure, and the addition of horns on three tracks (and violin on one) adds new textures to the classic Mudhoney throb without crushing the band's personality or spirit. (Don't fret -- the often atonal sax on the Stooges-esque "Baby, Can You Dig the Light" could have been pulled straight from side two of Fun House, while "Where the Flavor Is" is a raunchy slice of mutant funk in the manner of Exile on Main Street.) While Guy Maddison ...
