Anyone else digging Jeff Tweedy's new album?
I'm a longtime Uncle Tupelo and Wilco fan, so I'm predisposed to like it, but I think it's beautiful and that it would appeal to anyone looking for a classic, mellow acoustic singer-songwriter type record. His playing and singing are really nice. Everything on it has already appeared on a record by Wilco or another Tweedy project, but these stripped down versions are great. Here's a highlight:
I've had it on even heavier rotation than I would have expected.

For sure- good stuffz.
On vinyl no less This new album and the recent 'schmilco' album boil Wilco down to what I like most about the band and Tweedy himself. Cheers madhat. |

Thanks, AgentKooper. Is the rest of the album like this?

Yes, all songs are given a similar treatment. Guitar, vocals, and a bit of harmonica and whistling.

I agree. My only (minor) complaint with this one is that I'm very familiar with the songs. That said, the arrangements here still make them interesting.

Yes, and I would include the "Sukierae" record he made with his son in that category too.
