California Stars is the best Wilco song Jeff Tweedy didn't write.

Here's another one:

Yeah good call with Kicking Television, you get to sample a range of their songs, as well as get a piece of live action.

"Now be quiet."

Mermaid Avenue introduced me to Wilco in the first place. My favo album of all time. And most of it recorded in this wee Dublin town.

Loved the no mic version of Acuff Rose in Vicar St.

Unicron - he's a great one for the stage banter.

I have a bunch of Wilco and Tweedy bootlegs - hes a great guy. I went to see him play in London a couple of years ago and also then here in Vicar Street, which was awesome. The guy has so many beautiful songs. Please Tell My Brother from the Golden Smog record for example. Remember The Mountain Bed - just on a coustic guitar and yet you'd never realised seven minutes or so has just whizzed by.

As for Tupelo - there are some seriously great songs in that catalogue. My bro has an anthology CD of them which is very very good. Check out especially Black Eye, New Madrid, their version of Moonshiner, Acuff Rose (bizarrely not on the Anthology), Gun, Whiskey Bottle, I Got Drunk, Still Be Around, Sauget Wind.

That Tweedy gig in Vicar St was incredible.

I knew he was good, but I didn't think he was that good.

Is it easy to ght the Golden Smog and Tupelo stuff?

 

[seanface]

This anthology is fairly nifty. Nice liner notes too. £7.48 of the Queen's pounds on Amazon

The Uncle Tupelo albums got the re-issue treatment I think. Golden Smog is a collaboration between himself and Gary Louris and some other song-writers I'm not sure of off the top of my head and I don't think Tweedy has contributed many songs to their albums, but that one Please Tell My Brothers is one he usually plays when he's playing solo and is a delightfully simple tune. If it wasn't for the mention of swimming pools and phone bills in the lyrics you'd swear it was some trad. arr number

 

[Thebeard]

Nice one guys, thanks.

I'm chilin in bed enjoying my new no-job status listening to Uncle Tupelo - I forgot - they're brilliant!

 

[Thebeard]

Being There is really growing on me quite quickly. Sunken Treasure is a ripper.

 

[CinnamonBoy]

I'm just getting through Disc 1 at the moment. Red-eyed and Blue, I Got You and Hotel Arizona are brilliant. And of course:

According to as yet unconfirmed rumours it appears that Jay Bennett may have died last night.

Seem confirmed now. Died from complications resulting from surgery it said somewhere. Sad.

 

[Unicron]

One of my favourite Wilco songs is a circa YHF one called Venus stop the train. I think it failed to make the cut because it was written more by Jay than Jeff and then Bennett got shitcanned but it's a great tune. Apparently appeared eventually on a Bennett solo record but I've never heard that version.

shit news



His solo stuff was pretty good
