About this product
Rock n' Roll vets Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5, R.E.M.) and Steve Wynn have an unhealthy love for music undermined only by an even more unhealthy love of baseball. The compatriots blend their two passions with The Baseball Project - VOLUME 1 FROZEN ROPES AND DYING QUAILS, an album of buzzing guitars and baseball back stories. The heroes and villans of America's infamous pasttime are explored with cutting wit and fanboy detail in songs that satisfy both the summer's need for rock anthems and sweltering afternoon double headers. Drummer Linda Pitmon (Miracle 3, Golden Smog) and R.E.M.s Peter Buck round out the squad, as they spin tales of ill-fated drinking binges, near mythical icons, folk heroes and on InchGratitude (For Curt Flood), the overlooked man who changed the game.
