Fountain of Sorrow.
For sure. Sky Blue and Black is incredibly tear inducing as well.
For me, I'd have to say Johnny Cash. I like my music with a little more complexity, a few more layers. Johnny Cash was always just a little too straight forward for me. But my husband took the time to put a few of the JC box sets he had on my itunes and when I got the chance to give the music a listen, I finally realized that there was a lot of depth there. Maybe not always lyrically but always in his voice. Now, I'm addicted.

After checking out Dolorean based on Beltmann's recommendation (brilliant), I feel like a smarmy ass for my post. So here's a serious recommendation in case the person who started this thread hasn't heard of Old 97s. Buy Too Far to Care, Fight Songs, and Satellite Rides right now. The Live one is a good one too.
Yes to Dolorean and the Old 97's. I've heard the Old 97's quite a bit on Pandora, and really like them, but the recommendation for Dolorean was a pretty good one and a welcome discovery.

I agree about Buckley: beyond last goodbye, I just don't see the love.
No love for Hallelujah?
-
whew! glad to get that out there and that I'm not alone
-
I really, really WANT to love the entire Grace album by the late, great Jeff Buckley. But I can't. Hallelujah is on my top 5 of all time favorite songs but I just can't get into the rest of the album. This makes me feel musically inadequate
-
can't wait to catch these guys at Cain's in Tulsa!! So glad I found them.

rogue wave
eta...not alt country though

I had one a while back...and ironically, it also involved me playing with the band. Glenn was looking for a replacement and even though I posses zero percussion know how, they asked me to play drums. Glenn was showing me all these weird Dr. Seuss-type instruments that were huge, and kind of scary, and impossible to play. After a drawn out, unproductive rehearsal in the Loft where I found it impossible to concentrate because, well, Jeff was there and even though he was a really nice guy, he ruh-heal-ly intimidated me. I woke up just before we were to go onstage for our first performance...I love Wilco dreams!!

The rest is a blur - but in the morning you remember some sort of joke about, "now THAT'S a nudie suit," and everyone has a difficult time finding their clothing. Except Nels of course, since bright red high-water pants and Doc Marten's boots do tend to stick out. Tony is honking loudly, pissed as hell having slept out in the van all night, yelling something about being tired of getting jerked around. They all decline your polite offer of coffee and toast, rushing out the door in a flurry of "we'll call you's."
Sounds exactly like a dream I just had...Seriously though, this is the best post ever. EVER!
-
I was recently searching for the demos that include this song too...found it at Owl and Bear!!
-
With all due respect, watch the opening of the Ashes DVD, where Wilco plays this song in an empty Cain's Ballroom and Jeff's voice is worn from a hectic tour. Take a second listen, and then a third, and if you're still hung up on this YouTube video, I think you're missing something big.
Exactly this. Watching that never fails to induce chills and goosebumps. Never.
-
if this happened I would have to stop liking Wilco.
so just for clarification...is it not cool to like Wilco and a played out 90's Soul Asylum song? I'm still relatively new to all of this.
-
Driving along earlier tonight, my ipod shuffled to a live version of Soul Asylum's Runaway Train and I suddenly became desperate to hear Wilco cover this song (sorry, I love it...I'm a product of the 90's alt music scene). So, I guess that's not a whole album- maybe they could just play that one song nine or ten times in a row

Passenger Side!!
-
ONE WING!!!!! my day is made...
-
this is this is fun and makes work super bearable today. the music sounds great, but my video isn't working... anyone else experienceing this?
no video here either, thats ok though!! audio is sweet enough!
-
I'm not a group. Yet. But I am serious!! Email me
-
Misunderstood...though BBN is a close second these days.
-
I'd love to get in on a group if anyone is starting one...my husband too!!
-
There have been posters put up in the Wilco store for each show they have played...except for the Memphis one. My guess is that there wasn't one, but I would check the store periodically just to be sure.
This was the only poster they had there. I don't know if it was only for Memphis or not...anyone else know?
ETA...nevermind, answered my own question. Looks like it is just a general NA tour poster.
-
just as I was trying to scrap together an excuse to get back to Savannah...
-
I didn't take any pictures in memphis because, well, the iphone takes crap pictures from row L, or row A for that matter. In KC though, I was right up front and since my husband had to miss the show, I pulled out my phone when they played California Stars so that I could call him and let him "listen"...I didn't hold the phone up in the air or anything, just in front of me but I'm sure Jeff could see and I'm sure he thought I was trying to snag a video recording. Next time, I think I'll wear a shirt that says "I'm NOT video taping! I'm letting my husband participate in this amazing moment from 400 miles away. I"M A GOOD FAN!!" For what it's worth, I think taking an occasional picture is all good and well but when it interferes with someone else's enjoyment of the concert they paid to see and ends up interrupting an entire show because the singer has to stop and address one idiot, then it's a problem.
-
yet another amazing Wilco show! The crowd was kind of weird, at least around us, and Jeff's little temper tantrum was kind of intense. I totally get his point and yes, the apparent drunk with her pocket flask should have stopped when he asked but maybe he could have handled it a little differently...? I don't know. Overall though, awesome experience. Boxful of Letters was a nice surprise, as was Country Disappeared and Jeff's guitar playing these last few shows has just been jaw dropping!!
-
I thought it was awesome when Jeff countered GW's redneck remarks! Seriously, I think there were way more people there to see Dave Matthews than Gretchen Wilson and I wouldn't really classify DMB fans as rednecks. I screamed pretty loudly at Jeff's comment to be sure...
shake It Off DVD

I realize I'm almost three years late for this party...but. This DVD just showed up in my mailbox from Netflix! It seems my husband ordered it and didn't tell me. Best of all, I didn't even know this existed. Happy Day!! Now, just have to wait (im)patiently until tonight when I can sit down and watch it...
