Tweedy has transcended this many times over, yet, it is as good as anything Wilco has done. If you don't get this song I don't get you. |

I've always thought of this as in the realm of alt-country, where many fine artists reside. But what's wrong with good country music anyway? What about June Carter—(or any of the Carter family) or J Cash? Aren't they considered country? Are they hated too? |

Should be all kinds of music. What are they supposed to play all day? |

One of the things I've always loved about RP is that it isn't about just one genre of music. With that said, if I were to attempt to classify Son Volt I'd say they were Americana. Sure some might say country, but I don't think most of us have ever thought of them that way. |

All right. Son Volt - Uncle Tupleo.
Sad country rock about growing up in Belleville, IL (southern IL) with broken down cities, muggy hot summer weather, dead end job.
But getting in your car and driving the back roads at night..cool and fragrant summer air and looking up at stars. Somewhere on a county road between Belleville and Shiloh. Ask Jay Farrar or Jeff Tweedy...they know.

Not a country and western fan, but this is really a fun song with good production. I find this enjoyable something I didn't think i'd ever say about this genre, unless it's by Bob Wills or Hank Williams, then it's all good.

Have loved this song for about a dozen years. Reminds me of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and could fit along side of NGDB's 'Ripplin Waters.'

I'm going to go against the bigoted attitudes and say that I like this song and overall sound. Good on ya Bill for actually living up to the eclectic label.

Never thought of this song, or this band, as a country/western band. They are Americana/alt.country to my ears. Rock with a little twang thrown in.
