They set those particular lyrics to some Scruggs-style banjo...sounds pretty country, or at least folky, to me. "Centerfield" is a great song, whether or not folks choose to classify it as country or rock, but with the Friday Five I like giving attention to unknown or forgotten songs. I don't think "Centerfield" qualifies. Thanks Andrew and Sam for the Baseball Project recommendation. I've walked past it a couple times in the record store--not anymore! “Joe Dimaggio” is from Mermaid Avenue Vol 2 with Billy Bragg, a project which had the artists developing arrangements for Woody Guthrie lyrics that had never been recorded as songs .
