The Minus 5, the pop collective formed by Scott McCaughey of the Young Fresh Fellows, is back with a new CD, Down With Wilco. Departing from McCaughey's historic process of recording basic parts and gathering additional recorded pieces from participants, Down With Wilco is a much more collaborative effort. Along with recurrent participants, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Ken Stringfellow of the Posies, Down With Wilco, of course, features Wilco members Jeff Tweedy, John Stirrat, Glenn Kotche, and Leroy Bach as well as special appearances from Rebecca Gates, Christy McWilson, Sean O'Hagan, Charlie Francis, Jessy Greene, and Brian Paulson. The result is a pop gem that is sure to please fans of both The Minus 5 and Wilco.
