Sounds like slide guitar or pedal steel on 'ten sentences' ? Probably slide - I don't think of Jeff as being big into that sound or playing it.

Bumping this link which has copies available on line now https://www.plaidroomrecords.com/products/b-jeff-tweedy-b-br-i-warmer-i

Yes, lots of familiar references in these lyrics. Alas, the music/song itself isn't on the LP, just Jeff's lyrics on the back cover. Jeff is credited as a musician on the record, but the credits don't break out which song and on first listen I didn't pick up on any vocals/other parts that "had to be" Jeff. It's a solid Minus 5 album.

I picked up Stroke Manor by The Minus 5 at RSD today. Lyrics from the song Jeff Tweedy wrote for Scott McCaughey are printed on the back cover: Oh once upon a time I met a good man A fellow both fresh and young I'd try to tell you but I still don't understand How he knows every song ever sung Let's go play, let's go play again Let's go play, rock and roll again Once I woke him up on a Tuesday A Tuesday that we all know We watched the news and we cried all day And then we made rock and roll He said, let's go play, let's go play again Come let's play, rock and roll again

This was impossible to track down!

Bummed to see all these strike outs. I scored at the second store I went to. 3.5 hours of work. I was hoping my wife would be able to pick up a copy for a VCer but the person in front of her took that store's last copy. It's a great album on first listen. Hard not to hear it as a companion to Warm even if one tried. I've heard a bunch of these live solo and they are good. Hadn't heard Empty Head before just now and it is among the best of Warmer.

Family Ghost is pretty great! I'm not sure I recognize the T-Rex in it that NPR references. Also, hadn't seen Jeff's comments from the press release: "At some point I separated the songs from the WARM/WARMER session into two records with individual character," Tweedy says in a press release announcing the album. "But still tried to keep the overall tone and texture of the combined session consistent. In a lot of ways these two records could have been released as a double LP. WARMER means as much to me as WARM and might just as easily have been released as the first record of the pair."

Nice YouTube solo acoustic performances of Sick Server & New Madrid. Hadn't seen this posted yet. https://mountainx.com/multimedia/acoustic-asheville-jeff-tweedy/

He played... I Am Trying to Break Your Heart I Know What It's Like Guaranteed Let's Go Rain Hummingbird

RSD contest for autographed copy: https://recordstoreday.com/Contest/4330 features the language it's coming out first on Record Store Day which is a hopeful sign that the music will be available beyond the 5000 copies

That 2003 setlist is bonkers!

The Sound Opinions show this past weekend featured a best of live performances on the show. Most were from the last 3-5 years with the wonderful exception of She's a Jar from 1999 performed by Jay and Jeff. It was great. Some great banter ahead of the performance too. Tying it to this thread (beyond the fact that they were promoting the album) is my thought of how the rest of the band felt about these two being so chummy and promoting the cd without them so effectively.

Interesting - hadn't heard that before. Do we have an address? Song? I live closeby

Fogerty

Saturday is sold out which is great news.

Wow! Great for Scott. That description is certainly interesting.

Nels has a show on the 13th in Tallahassee

Wait - this is RSD Exclusive and limited to 5000 copies. Yikes - likely very hard to come by. Hopefully it will stream.

No hat? What is going on?

Wow! 10 songs is fantastic. Jeff Tweedy is on a prolific roll.

Interesting setlist! Looks great to me. I know Jeff has said that Wilco/he can play anything from any era since they don't have a hit, but he/they seem to shy away from the recent material. Lots of songs from Warm here, but nothing from 2009 to 2018 - No Whole Long, Schmiclo, Star Wars, Mavis or 'Tweedy' songs in the set. Of course, only one show...

And Big City Tap

Typically these shows have no openers. Looks to be the case again this year. On food, Sheffields & Fish Bar are good. Lots of good food in Chicago - always tricky handling though before a Vic show given GA nature.
