My new obsession. I cannot stop listening to this album...ever. I don't know if it is just Jeff Tweedy's amazing lyrics and songwriting ability or if I really just love alt-country. I definitly love the instruments. If i ever made a full band this is what I would want it to sound like. I plan on checking out Uncle Tupelo soon. (The band Tweedy was in before Jay Farrar left and the reason Wilco is named Wilco) That will hopefully further verify my suspisions in my taste for the style. Supposively the sound of AM is nearly the same as Uncle Tupelo, being Tweedy's first post-Farrar writing.
Speaking of Alt-Country, did any of you guys happen to catch Kiefer Sutherland’s documentary promoting a new Alt-Country band called Rocco Deluca and the Burden? http://www.roccodeluca.com/ If not maybe you saw the clip on youtube where Kiefer tackles a christmas tree. That would be from the documentary. Anyway I watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it. In the film you learn that Kiefer not only likes Alt-Country, but he smokes a lot of cigarettes, drinks a lot, and wears tight jeans and that man-purse from 24 everywhere.
