Thanks, Bill! And I just requested it off-hand in a comment yesterday!

8? no, it's a 9.

Bravo!!!

Channelling Neil Young's voice and not his music, they got it the wrong way round.

After this, I need an anodyne.  Maybe Lydia Pinkham's Elixir.  Make it a double.

I think that was pretty much the consensus when Uncle Tupelo broke up, that Jeff's subsequent career would be ecclipsed by Jay Farrar's. I am a big fan of Son Volt too, but Tweedy's proven a lot of people wrong, I believe.

Jay sings lead in both Tupelo and Son Volt?

Horrid, horrid voice. Someone please shut this guy up.

This is an outstanding album and has been worn out in my CD player for consistent play over the past 15 years. Most excellent =)

Not sure about the Radiohead, but 3 of the last four tunes have been great. Thank you and long live RP!

I think Tweedy came into his own after this warm-up.

Sort of Annoying Voice.

Bill, How bout following up this song with Tupelo Honey?

The wife and I ate at the Tupelo Honey Cafe in Asheville yesterday and I have been singing this song and T.H. ever since. :)

this song has grown on me. i would not go out and buy the album. but i wouldn't turn it off either. thanks RP for broadening my horizons again.

living in st. louis, i got to see these guys about 30 times, even catching their last show under the name "coffee creek". every single time i saw them was a good moment in my life. not to detract from son volt, wilco, etc...but having farrar AND tweedy up front was just amazing. years later, i realize just how talented they were. this is one of the few places you will hear them played (they never got much airplay even in their backyard here). enjoy it folks. you can whine about the twang, but you know if you were standing there live having it wash over you, you'd feel a bit different.

Those are some tasty geetar licks.

wow weee what a blast from the past.....my childhood played with him back in the 80's saw the at the kights of columbus. one of the last times they played.

Bassist for Uncle Tupelo: John Stirratt

John's twin sister is in Blue Mountain... whom I will see tomorrow in Oxford.

Not well enough, especially Alejandro.

For some reason, this association amuses me.

wow .. cool tune

liser wrote:Amen to that. I just cannot get into UT, and I think it's because of Jay's voice (I have the same problem with Son Volt, obviously). He sounds like one of the Johns from They Might Be Giants, except really really whiny. If Jeff Tweedy was singing this, I'd probably give it a much higher rating.
