About this playlist
Forming from the ashes of alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo in 1994, this Chicago band continue to reinvent indie rock. Jeff Tweedy has remained the steady frontman, his vivid lyrics and slightly worn croaks hinting at Neil Young and Bob Dylan—even when turning to Woody Guthrie's words for inspiration in "California Stars". The band has consistently shaken up its lineup and sound, dipping into Beatles-esque psych pop ("A Shot In the Arm") as fluently as shaggy '70s rock ("Random Name Generator"), all while preserving a little bit of twang and the cool composure of indie statesmen.
