Then we turn on NPR only to hear Jeff Tweedy talking to Marketplace's Kai Ryssdal about ther recent recording of Woody Guthrie's "Jolly Banker," a tune that, well, sadly fits current times just as solidly as it did the era it was written -- the Depression.
Wilco is offering the song as a free download on their site with the option to make a small donation to the Woody Guthrie Foundation and Archives.
