Wilco praise from Roger McGuinn

[blureu]

Do you see that sensibility in younger artists? Eddie Vedder has jumped on stage with Neil Young, The Who and Tom Petty.

 

The ones who really know how to play music (do it), as opposed to the one that got worked on in the computer in the studio. There's a dividing line between real musicians and the people who know how to work midi programs. It's the real musicians who enjoy expressing themselves, getting up and improvising. Wilco comes to mind. Jeff Tweedy's like that. I jammed with them and, boy, they're rock solid to play with. Really a great band.

You can see Roger McGuinn with Wilco in the second half of JHamm's volume 7.

I find the spot Wilco's in is really cool; these past few years they've simultaneously won the respect of an older generation of musicians (Opening for the Stones, Playing with Neil Young etc), remained one of gen-x's few bands to stay commercially and artistically beyond their 20s and 30s (sorry Mr. Corgan), and now a generation of younger groups like the Fleet Foxes name drop them as big influences.

 

Hurray Wilco!
