Farrar/Johnson/Parker/Yames New Multitudes Universal Created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Woody Guthrie’s birth, New Multitudes started life as a Jay Farrar solo project. He tagged in Anders Parker (Varnaline) and from there Will Johnson (Centro-matic) and Yim Yames (the hipster persona of My Morning Jacket’s Jim James) became involved.
