Description

On this weeks episode, we take a listen to the third album by Wilco, 1999’s Summerteeth. Wilco rose from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo trying to find its  footing in the shadow of Son Volt, the band  Jay Farrar founded. Wilco lead singer and main songwriter Jeff Tweedy had the vision of letting multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett play just about any keyboard he could get his hands on while he and the rest of the band provided strong backing that let the songs sound like pop tunes from another time, even though lyrics could be dark and, in some cases, disturbing. While a transitional album for the band that portends what is to come, it stands on its own and contains some of Tweedy’s most compelling (and catchy) songwriting.
