Wilco Shares Previously Unreleased ‘A.M.’ Outtake ‘Myrna Lee’

Rhino Records will issue deluxe editions of Wilco’s first two albums, 1995’s A.M. and 1996’s Being There, on December 1. Paste has shared a previously unreleased outtake from the A.M. sessions that included as a bonus track on the upcoming expanded release.

One of eight bonus tracks added to the A.M. deluxe edition, the previously unheard “Myrna Lee” which was written by co-founding bassist John Stirratt. The recording never made it to an official Wilco release, but Stirratt’s twin sister Laurie Stirratt recorded the song with her band Blue Mountain for their 1997 Homegrown album.

Along with A.M., the deluxe edition of the Being There double album comes with an extra disc completely made up of outtakes, alternate versions of tracks and demos. The Being There reissue also includes a live Wilco recording from the Troubadour in Los Angeles on November 12, 1996 and a short radio session held on November 13, 1996 at KCRW in Santa Monica.
