The five bonus tracks were recorded during the Ruminations sessions; while full band versions of them were released on the 2017 companion album Salutations, these solo acoustic recordings are now included for the first time on Ruminations.Ruminations was recorded in the winter of 2016, when Oberst found himself hibernating in his hometown of Omaha after living in New York City for more than a decade. He emerged with the unexpectedly raw, unadorned album, which NPR called one of his “most personal records … a collection of brave, dark songs … unmistakably moving and contain[ing] some of Oberst's best lyrics and imagery.” The UK’s Sunday Times further said it was his “rawest album yet …. Political and very, very personal,” calling Oberst “one of the best songwriters around.” TRACKLISTING SIDE A 01 Tachycardia 02 Barbary Coast (Later) 03 Gossamer Thin 04 Counting Sheep 05 Mamah Borthwick (A Sketch) SIDE B 01 The Rain Follows the Plow 02 A Little Uncanny 03 Next of Kin 04 You All Loved Him Once 05 Till St. Dymphna Kicks Us Out SIDE C 01 Overdue 02 Too Late to Fixate 03 Afterthought 04 Empty Hotel by the Sea 05 Napalm Show more
