*Insert signed by Scott McCaughey, Peter Buck & Debbi Peterson * Join The Minus 5 on the Rock n Roll channel to discuss their new album, Oar On, Penelope! Oar On, Penelope! is The Minus 5’s first album of original material in over half a decade and features help from some of his most trusted allies: Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers), Debbi Peterson (The Bangles), Kurt Bloch (The Fastbacks), Spencer Tweedy and was recorded and mixed by legendary engineer Ed Stasium (The Replacements, Ramones, Talking Heads, you name it!). McCaughey’s breadth of musical knowledge and appreciation is on full display, ranging from addictive power pop (“Words & Birds”), gnarly garage rock (“The Garden of Arden”), Neil Young-influenced Americana (“Bison Queen”) and bite-sized psychedelia (“Sharktooth”). Scott McCaughey has never sounded more inspired, and that’s something to celebrate.
