Record Bin: How Wilco shed their Americana past on "Being There"


Recommended Posts

Seems like a typical "click-bait" headline that a lot of sites employ these days.

 

It was their first good record, but not their best as far as songwriting, arranging and unique vision goes, at least in my books.

Being There flat out rocks. There is a lot of southern fried rock on there, or "odd countrified psychedelia", as this author puts it. It was groundbreaking for the band - I remember clearly thinking that the first time I heard Misunderstood on a bootleg tape a month or so before the album was released. Love it.
