Tweedy's solo album came out last week. I'm gonna buy it.
So they played all of Being There followed by all of YHF at the Wilco-curated Solid Sound Festival. There's a recording from one of the best tapers in the area:
I'd prefer Being There + A Ghost Is Born (my 2 favs) but that's still pretty awesome.
Also, this isn't a full album tour, is it? Not sure why you're even comparing it at all.
Yeah, Laminated Cat is great.It's pretty sweet. That these songs sound so good after removing all the production bells and whistles speaks to their/his songwriting, really. That said. it's not as essential as the Live in the Pacific Northwestern DVD.
Laminated Cat is a favorite of mine from Loose Fur days.
The five-LP set features Bob Ludwig’s 2020 remastered studio album as well as the unreleased demos, alternates and outtake recordings pressed on 180-gram vinyl. However, instead of the Colorado concert included in the CD package, the LP version contains a special, exclusive performance from early 1999 titled, An Unmitigated Disaster, a previously unreleased live in-store performance at Tower Records on March 11, 1999, just two days after the album was released. The 10-song set, which was broadcast on Chicago radio station WXRT-FM, highlights several tracks from Summerteeth (“We’re Just Friends,” “How To Fight Loneliness” and “Can’t Stand It”). This show will only be available in the LP collection.
AD: Wilco was in the midst of making another record, but changed gears to make Cruel Country. What was the other record like?
Jeff Tweedy: We started on a record before the pandemic and had been chipping away at it. It’s pretty sculpted art pop. It’s alien. The songs are alien shapes, maybe what people think of when they think of the element in Wilco that is “experimental” or something like that. But you know, adjectives kind of fail me. I don’t wanna say “weird” but it’s a more searching type of record, searching for something we haven’t heard before, pushing ourselves and challenging ourselves to make a record that feels worthwhile to add to the pile of records that we’ve made.
