Mike Gordon: Steamroller Wheelies – A Restoration Convoy

Phish bassist Mike Gordon has just released a compilation of collaborations with fellow musicians called Steamroller Wheelies – A Restoration Convoy to raise funds for Vermont Flood recovery. On this compilation, which is available for download at LivePhish.com or on CD through Dry Goods, Cactus presents tracks from various projects he’s either developed or participated in over the years, beginning in 1999.

The list of musicians who participated in at least one track is lengthy and varied. It includes Mike’s Phish band mates Page McConnell and Jon Fishman, Marco Benevento, Joe Russo, Chris Thile, Little Feat, Danny Barnes, Russell Batiste, Fonzworth Bentley, Scott Murawski and Oteil Burbridge.

“The repairing of Vermont is about bringing different kinds of people together, so I wanted to do that musically with this group tracks that were recorded over the years with interesting and unique musicians, but not widely released to the public,” says Gordon.

Here’s a full track listing, including the artists involved…
