Scott McCaughey's revolving-door collective has always operated somewhere between a proper band and the world's best bar band guest list, and this self-titled release captures that spirit at full voltage. With McCaughey's roots running through Young Fresh Fellows and his long tenure as a latter-day R.E.M. auxiliary member, the Minus 5 have earned their cult status the old-fashioned way, one sharp hook and borrowed friend at a time. Minus 5 return with their latest self-titled record that is a sweet collection of rock-pop joy. Featuring guest appearances by Wilco, John Wesley Harding, Kelly Hogan, Morgan fisher, Sean Nelson, Colin Meloy and John Moen (of the Decemberists). Tracklist Disc 1 1. Rifle Called Goodbye 2.
