In Chicago in the 90s, Wilco was of course one of the biggest acts in town. But you know what? Poi Dog Pondering was probably even bigger, or at least as big. One of the best bands no one's ever heard of.

Good energy for Wilco...but sadly still kinda mediocre.

You from Belleville, IL...hometown of Uncle Tupelo? On the best country/punk/acid rock bands ever. Saw them play Stagger Inn in Edwardsville, in 1990. Wow...I mean..wow.
Tupelo is from Belleville???? I was there from 1965 to 1974 (1-9 years old) |

I generally still like Wilco's newer stuff, but their late 90's rockers were the best.
P.S.-this double album came out in late '96...not sure where the 2004 designation came from.

I do dig the transition from this to the Stones "Bitch" though... listen to the last words of this song and it's perfect! Seconded. Sounds like warmed-over Stones. |

This song exemplifies why Farrar and Tweedy went their separate ways. Farrar and Son Volt have hewed closely to the path blazed by Uncle Tupelo. Tweedy wanted to rock. It happens.

This rocks like a 1964 Buick Riviera doing 75 and I love it. Thats all. MANIFESTO: I cant understand all these, ahem, 'music lovers' ranting judgmental bout 'this sounds like that' or 'this is a lift of that' WTF? Rock is a folk music. It is about inspired lifting, or if you wish - for you culturati - the homage. Do ya think Muddy Waters didnt lift riffs & entire songs, just as Bob Dylan has? Chuck Berry was lifting/channeling Louis Jordan of rock/blues combo music? Maybe u missed that. Well, check out the line/word rhythm of 'Johnny B Goode' and 'Choo-Choo-Ch-Boogie'. How 'bout bridge of 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' and the front of the bridge in 'Pretty Woman'? Exact same chord progressions. Not similar. Exact. DOH! Which came first? Who knows? More importantly: WHO CARES? Both are amazing, beautfiul, energetic. Love them both. Roy Orbison & The Beatles toured England together in 1963(?)...so who will ever know... So, Gimme a break. Gimme shelter. Gimme a deep groove, some Chuck Berry licks, rockin' horns. Anytime, anyday. Life is short and it's a pretty wretched, messed up world world, in case ya didnt notice. Great music makes it a better place. So zip it, and groove. Vita brevis, rock longa.
