Title: WILCO / new live album Post by: Deez Nuts on December 09, 2005, 05:00:21 PM Any Wilco fans here?
Also wanted to know if anyone has gotten their new double live cd called "Kicking Television:Live in Chicago". I know I could read their site to see a review of the album but I hate getting biased reviews and wanted to know what a GNR based music fan thought of it. I went to a show of theirs 14 months ago and I gotta say that was some of the best musicianship I've ever seen out of a group. Sure they are sort of slop-rock but they are good at what they do. For those unfamiliar with the band, I would compare them alot to Tommy's Village Gorilla Head cd.

Country rock at its best, so I don't think is that similar to Tommy's album. They are very respected in the business. Rock press and colleagues praise this band as a major influence and so on. I don't particulary see any of this, to me there are just another good Rock and roll band with country influences, but hey, it's just my .02. any other album recommendations Deez?

Definitely agree that you have to be in a certain mood to listen to them.? I'm not a hardcore fan or anything but I think 2002's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is their best cd and also probably their most critically acclaimed.? It's a pretty cool story that their label (Sire/Reprise) actually dropped them because they thought that YHF wouldn't sell and then they came out with that cd on another label and it sold like 3 times more than their previous records.? |
