Mendoza Line Fellow Travelers
“Fellow Travelers,” a piano-driven ballad that could very
well be a B-side from Being There. Even though, to quote
that same album, “it sounds like someone else’s song /
from a long time ago,” it’s a great tune, teetering along
with part-time singer Timothy Bracy’s worn, slightly off-
key vocals. His voice strengthens the Wilco comparisons,
as he sounds eerily like Jeff Tweedy doing an
impersonation of Stephen Malkmus doing an impersonation
of Bob Dylan. When paired with depressing lyrics (a
Mendoza Line trademark) and a morose melody, Bracy’s
voice works perfectly.
