Similar Songs Critic's Review Ratings & Reviews Related links   2MB RealAudio      Need a free Player?      Download Help           Like "California Stars" on Mermaid Avenue, "The Secret of the Sea" is clearly Billy Bragg & Wilco's radio-friendly pick from their new album of salvaged Woody Guthrie songs. With lush guitars, smooth vocals, and simple chord structures holding sway, "Secret" sounds more like the Beatles than a folk ballad -- but the words are unmistakably Guthrie’s. Wisely, his living collaborators don’t try to compete with the master here -- the music may be Wilco & Bragg, but Woody Guthrie remains at center stage.       Gene Park     Gene is a contributing writer to numerous major publications. As a writer for Icon Magazine, he profiled numerous culture heroes, including Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Scott Weiland, Sting, Jello Biafra, and MikePatton to name but a few. Funkadelic and Jane's Addiction are his current weapons of choice.   Click here for rules!          Average Rating: One Star Two Stars Three Stars Four Stars Five Stars                                   Enter a review to win an iShriek MP3 Player!   This song contains the Beatle's influence that Wilco used on last year's "Summerteeth," if you're a fan of that album, you'll love this song...Jeff Tweedy and the music sound great...followers of alt-country (and even those who don't) should definitely listen to this song...along with the rest of the album which also features a guest spot by Natalie Merchant.
