Uncle Tupelo was born in the tiny railroad town of
Belleville, IL, when high school friends Jay Farrar, Jeff
Tweedy and Mike Heidorn started their mutual quest to blend
their punk rock roots and their increasing fascination with
the traditional songs and sounds of American roots music.
With the exception of their fourth album Anodyne, the UT
catalog has been out of print since Farrar (Son Volt, solo)
and Tweedy's (Wilco) successful bid to retrieve the rights
to those recordings. Since then, die-hard fans have been
left to scour used CD bins and the internet for original UT
CDs, bootleg shows and mythic studio outtakes. Until now.
Beginning with Uncle Tupelo 89/93: An Anthology,
Columbia/Legacy, along with the band, will reissue all of
the Rockville UT albums: No More...
Review about Uncle Tupelo chilling | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Black Eye performed by Uncle Tupelo
what a powerful song, the economy is so impressive, especially considering jeff was so young when he wrote it. they wrote so many classic songs, rightly recognised as the pioneers of alt americana but deserve wider recognition
Something of a sleeper at the back end of 'Anodyne', this is the Uncle Tupelo track I keep coming back to, on what is one of my favourite albums. The wonderful lap steel augments the melancholy perfectly, without becoming kitsch or maudlin. It is traditionally structured, with verse, chorus and middle eight, but not predictable.
Above all though it is a simply brilliant tune, which is really what it's all about, right?
