Never thought of Tweed as the new Rod Stewart before.

Great segue from "Take the long way home!" As usual.

This seems to have Jay singing harmony vocals behind Jeff's lead.
 
Acutally if I remember correctly most of the album is either or singing. This and "Give back the key to my heart" are kind of the exceptions, although "key" has Doug Sahm singing.
Definitely worth acquiring.

Track Listing is:
  1. "Slate" (Farrar) – 3:24
  2. "Acuff-Rose" (Tweedy) – 2:35
  3. "The Long Cut" (Tweedy) – 3:20
  4. "Give Back the Key to My Heart" (Sahm) – 3:26
  5. "Chickamauga" (Farrar) – 3:42
  6. "New Madrid" (Tweedy) – 3:31
  7. "Anodyne" (Farrar) – 4:50
  8. "We've Been Had" (Tweedy) – 3:26
  9. "Fifteen Keys" (Farrar) – 3:25
  10. "High Water" (Farrar) – 4:14
  11. "No Sense in Lovin'" (Tweedy) – 3:46
  12. "Steal the Crumbs" (Farrar) – 3:38

I was gonna say 50/50, but is actually about 55/45.  The Wiki article (Anodyne) about this record is very informative.  It cant be stressed enough how good it is as a whole!

The name of the singer in Cracker is David Lowery, and Camper Van Beethoven just called me and said they want him back, which makes far more sense than trying to switch Jeff Tweedy for Lowery in Cracker.

if you like these guys, take a listen to NQ Arbuckle from Ontario Canada. http://music.cbc.ca/#/bands/NQ-Arbuckle
Cheap Town is one of their best. I thought they had reformed and this was them, the voice was so close the lead singer from NQ Arbuckle.

A great song from an absolutely PERFECT album - Anodyne.  RP, please list this as where the song comes from, not an anthology.  Anodyne is a freakin' masterpiece, and in context, this song is even better.

Anyone who digs Son Volt and/or Wilco HAS to get Anodyne - like, now.  Tupelo's last disc - Tweedy having switched to guitar, and the band being a 5 or 6 piece rather than a trio.  Some of it rocks hard, some of it is very subtle.  Did I say masterpiece yet?  Oh yeah, I did.
 

Can't agree more.  Love that album, and this song.

  Since Uncle Tupelo got their start around 1987, I'm thinkin' them Avett boys prolly dug their sound when they was wee lads.

Are people being witty or does no one here actually recognize Jeff Tweedy singing?

And dude was like 20 at the time. I'm sure he's really upset people like grungeguppy think he's not up to scratch.

You'd think there would be a massive crack on the two lane highway, of that album cover, to show the effects of this song.

Like the quake in Landers, California circa 1992.

I was there!
Well... 30 miles south.

Not for him. Ol' Excel really seems to enjoy trashing this song: he's done it repeatedly. We understood his opinion the first time, just let it go.

Sounded appallingly like Rod Stewart on start-up, and still sounds like him. Rod Stewart doing C and/or W - truly a nightmare.
