Jeff Tweedy


Recommended Posts

I'd say go back to whatever Tweedy solo you've been listening to and see how you feel about the non-Wilco songs he does there and then decide with that in mind. I like Loose Fur's "Born Again in the USA" an awful lot, myself.

Yeah, I'd say check out the non-Wilco Tweedy you like and go from there. I'm honestly not that familiar with Golden Smog myself, even though I should be. I've recently gotten into "Family Gardener" a Tweedy-sung song on the Minus 5's 'Down With Wilco' album (which you can see Tweedy and Scott McCaughey playing backstage on the 'Sunken Treasure' DVD). I CAN say that I love Loose Fur. Both albums are great though I think 'Born Again in the USA' is a little more coherent/solid as a whole album. Both discs, however, have stunning Tweedy songs that IMO rank among his absolute best, particularly...

 

"Laminated Cat" (aka "Not for the Season") and "Chinese Apple"....from the Self-Titled debut.

"Wreckroom"...from "Born Again"

 

If you like Tweedy though, you absolutely can't go wrong with either and will need to own both.
