Wilco are back to the disk to not be depressed, and this time do it alone and usually hard to defend a maligned but it seems to me a the philosopher's stone of a genre then exploited to exhaustion. AM is a great album. I think so and say so. Go with him. Posted March 28, 1995, album is the band Wilco's debut, after the separation of Uncle Tupelo, although some consider that Anodyne , two-headed last album the group led pro Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, is the germ of everything. And they were right. Anodyne because the base is recorded this album and it will become Wilco. Tweedy, Ken Coomer on drums, John Stirratt on bass and Max Johnston playing what it takes. They will be joined by people like Brian Henneman Bottle Rocket to shape an album that perfectly defines the 90's American rock. A work that began to take shape in the Easy Studios in Memphis, a place where Tweedy insisted on recording because he had heard Jon Spencer recordings made there and that he was delighted. Also, to try to change what was in Uncle Tupelo, Jeff asks the rest of the band to be involved in the composition and, although in the end only "It's Just That Simple" is signed by Stirratt to leave Tweedy the rest of the leadership, the singer does manage the participation of everyone in the production directed by Brian Paulson. Nor should we forget the remixes that Richard Dodd did post the disk and eventually to give it a personality.
With a title that refers to radio stations, one of the things I like about this album is that his detractors accuse him of simple Can anything be bad for simple? Must be bored. Obviously it's easy. Nothing to do with Wilco that would later build but that's a good part of its charm. How fucked is that even the finished Tweedy justified on the simple grounds that the fault was his excessive consumption of marijuana. No good old Tweedy walked in their best moments of assertiveness at the time. All this meant that the record was received coolly reaching only number 27 on the charts. I do not understand or will understand until you get to write songs like "Should not Be Ashamed" and "I Must Be High". Then as I think this is easy and should have been complicated life more. In the meantime I will continue enjoying it and thinking about how you do it Jeff?
