Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, Mike Mills, Steve Wynn, and Linda Pitmon don't need a gimmick, but baseball turns out to be the perfect lens for five lifers who grew up on AM radio an d box scores in equal measure. By their third outing, the band had fully settled into their chemistry, stretching beyond novelty into something that works as straight-up American rock and roll, regardless of whether you've ever kept score. 2014 album from the super group. The Baseball Project, the critically acclaimed alt-rock supergroup featuring Peter Buck (R.E.M., the Minus 5), Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5, Young Fresh Fellows, R.E.M.), Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Linda Pitmon and Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate), deliver another batch of songs inspired by the great American past-time. This collection continues their tradition of inspired rock songs that provide passionately funny and sarcastically reverent commentary on the sport of baseball. And those who aren't fans of the sport can still enjoy the music, while brushing up on their knowledge. Tracklist 1. Stats (1:38) 2. From Nails To Thumbtacks (2:56) 3. ¡Hola America!
