Baseball's sardonic rock chroniclers are back with Volume 2: High and Inside, an even more detailed look at the stories behind America's Favorite Pastime. Their second season finds band members Steve Wynn, Scott McCaughey, Linda Pitmon and Peter Buck drilling down even deeper into the Byzantine, lore-laden annals of baseball history. Volume 2 includes designated hitters Craig Finn of The Hold Steady, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan, as well as Chris Funk and John Moen of The Decemberists, dispelling any fears of a sophomore slump.
