INFLUENCES! Wilco

From the ashes of alt. country greats Uncle Tupelo, is the stunning ensemble, Wilco. Fronted by the earnest and captivating Jeff Tweedy. Despite Tweedy's struggle with depression and mental stability, their music is hopeful and generally has an uplifting quality. Few bands today make such relevant and intriguing music. "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" and "A Ghost is Born" are 2 of their more revered and magnificent works.

Recommendations - Check out brilliant documentary film "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" about the making of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"!
