Wilco are fantastic-
'A Ghost is Born' is a wonderful album and the follow-up live document, of the tour 'Kicking Television', is one of the finest live albums of recent years,
'Spiders (kidsmoke)' rocks hard.
- they are one of the best live bands, out there.
Jeff Tweedy's previous band, Uncle Tupelo, are well worth investigating.
He is also a member of the Mineapolis (sic) Supergroup, Golden Smog.
Who's brand new album (and their first in 8 years) 'Another Fine Day', is for my money, the album of the year (so far!), full of cracking harmonies and great lyrics. Golden Smog include Gary Louris (Jayhawks) and various members
of Soul Asylum, Run Westy Run and Big Star.
-All terrific and criminally underrated bands, in their own right.
'Another Fine Day', is, as i say, the best album i've heard this year, but it's not as good as their 1998 classic 'Weird Tales'...check it out- it's wonderful.
