My favorite UT song

Awesome! Never heard this before and I love it on first listen.

An under-appreciated album.

I first heard UT when Anodyne was released on U of Michigan college radio as I approached Ann Arbor from Chicago. It was night, I was tired: they played the whole Goddamn album and I was wide awake - awestruck. I managed to get to town and headed for the first music store  that I could find (remember those?) and bought every UT CD, including this one. Some bands are transformative: you just know it immediately. I treasure those CDs to this day.

whoa...

some of their first stuff, coming out of Belleville IL. Next to the Stag beer brewery.

UT split and Wilco and Son Volt were formed. I'm more of a Son Volt fan. Although Wilco is awesome, seen them both. Son Volt.

What about you?

Don't they have a few roller coasters in that vicinity?

I'm not sure about the timeline of Queensryche vs. Uncle Tupelo, but from a book (those papery things bound together on one edge with writing on them) I read about the history of Wilco, they probably would have listened to Queensryche. They were just a couple of kids growing up in southern Illinois. I'm sure they heard a lot of country music too.

Pure genius, never get tired of this song no matter how often I heard it.
Love at first listen - like somebody already wrote.

Love to see a live video of this but never found it on youtube.

The chord progression sounds very similar to Queensryche's Silent Lucidity.

Well, I used to race motocross back in the day. I would still love to do that, but to many expensive hobbies can get expensive. Actually riding on the street kinda bores me.
Nope. I just love to find cool roads to drive on... another expensive hobby.


Here's one I "found" last summer... Nacimiento- Fergusson Road off Hwy 1 above San Simion, California


The view a 1/4 mile up the road...

Maybe a name change would be auspicious?

I've bumped this from 8 to 9 - I really, really love this song! Need it on my MP3 player soon.  I don't know why, when I read the words "Uncle Tupelo," I assume it's going to sound like Uncle Cracker. The brain can be a person's worst enemy sometimes...

I vow to bypass that whole "Uncle" stigma and go for the "Tupelo" factor (wouldn't that be a great band-name?  "TupeloFactor")

Shutting up now.

What a beautiful song!  I'd never heard Uncle Tupelo's music until I came here.  It's really great stuff.  And thanks for the gorgeous pics, Kurt - they really are completely fitting for this song. {#Sunny}

Beautiful pictures of a inviting road. Tune really did match your view. Thank you for sharing.

Something about this song makes me think of sitting in the shade on a hot day, looking out over the ocean with a cool drink. Very nice.

Just a great song - If you like this try Dave Rawlings https://www.amazon.co.uk/Friend-David-Rawlings-Machine/dp/B002QF31QC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1267504543&sr=1-1 - the guitar sound is similar

Old Uncle Tupelo is sounding better than the new Wilco album.  Jay Farrar is too.  ... Just sayin'

(maybe I need more time with it, but)
 

Just saw Uncle Tupelo at the 9:30 club in DC and my boyfriend kept saying this too...  to the point I had to suggest he quit "hating on Wilco".   'New' UT sounded great as a whole and their lead guitarist was incredible!  Closed with a rockin' cover of "Are You Sure Hank Did it This Way".

Really sweet strumming. I've never heard of these guys, but I just read RP's Wiki link on them. A shame they broke up.

I think "Jagged" by the Old 97's would be a perfect song after this. Good choices recently, Bill!

Saw these guys in Lawrence, Kansas (The Bottleneck) many years ago. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

Right state, but wrong city. Doris Day is from the Western Hills section of Cincinnati (same high school as Pete Rose), not Sandusky.

Such a cool vibe to this tune. Perfect for the early summer weather we've got today in New England.

I Like it! Wonder if it has anything to do with Sandusky Ohio?

Sounds similar to a Lindsay Buckingham composition called "Stephanie" recorded as Buckingham Nicks.
