hardinggr Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I've downloaded a few of Tweedy's live solo shows and think they are fantastic. Of all the non-Wilco albums he has worked on which would you recommend as a starting point? Loose Fur? Golden Smog? Help! Advice needed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 its usually a matter of personal taste..i prefer Golden Smog myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nathanb Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 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.

Wilco LP #7 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 LF and GS are good, but I prefer listening to the solo bootlegs more than any of their albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
