Elektra released Mermaid Avenue Vol. II on May 30, 2000. Guthrie wrote these words between 1939 and 1955. The music came from Bragg, Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett between 1995 and 2000, recorded in Boston, Chicago and Dublin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTweedy and Bennett wrote the music for \"Airline to Heaven,\" which opens the record, and Tweedy alone wrote \"Someday Some Morning Sometime,\" which closes it.
