Did Jeff ever say why "The Thanks I Get" was left off "SBS"


Recommended Posts

It seems the band really likes this song. Playing it on tv and pushing it out there via commercial.

 

I love seeing the clips of Wilco playing this song and Jeffs face when he hits the high notes. He looks like hes about to burst out laughing.

It's a song that has been around for a while, and I know Jeff wrote it for Solomon Burke, but Burke didn't like it. So maybe the reason why it's not on SBS is it's not really meant to be a Wilco song. That's my guess.

I seem to remember him saying something about how he got it to Burke too late for the album. Not so sure though.
That seems to be the story.....it may show up on an album someday, who knows.

I don't know - I enjoy it. Music is supposed to be fun, right?

 

But you know what I actually would really like? Getting to hear what Solomon Burke would do with it. Yowza. Don't Give Up On Me is such a brilliant record. I'm hoping for another one from Solomon of that caliber.
