Expected Release Date: 11-December-2026 - This Pre-order will be shipped on or just before this date. Release dates are subject to alteration.

The Mermaid Avenue series is one of the most successful and unusual folk-rock collaborations of the last few decades. At its core, the project took previously unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics and set them to entirely new music composed and performed by Billy Bragg and Wilco. Celebrated for honoring Guthrie's spirit while creating something entirely new, the Mermaid Avenue recordings remain a landmark achievement in folk and Americana music. 

The acclaimed Mermaid Avenue series returns in an expanded edition, uniting Billy Bragg and Wilco's celebrated interpretations of previously unheard Woody Guthrie lyrics. Featuring all three volumes alongside previously unreleased material including rare demos, alternate takes, and live recordings, this definitive collection highlights one of modern folk-rock's most inspired collaborations. Includes new liner notes by Bob Mehr and deluxe packaging.

Mermaid Avenue Vol. III 

New standalone format, broken out from The Complete Sessions (2012). Released for Guthrie's centennial, this collection assembled Volumes I and II, added a third volume of previously unreleased recordings, and included the documentary film Man in the Sand, which chronicles the collaboration.
