Wilco: Being There (Vinyl LP)

Usually ships in 3-6 business days

Double 180-gram vinyl LP set with CD. Being There is Wilco's second effort, and it's a masterful collection rightly carrying forward the magic of their debut. Singer-songwriter Jeff Tweedy seems fascinated by the prospect of tracing back their genre's beginnings. There's 19 ambitious songs here: Misunderstood is a powerful love affair with psychedelia; I Got You (At the End of the Century is power pop; Someone Else's Song seems influenced by The Beatles, while Monday is tangy R&B. Even given these influences, though, the record remarkably manages to avoid clichés. Tradition is packed with twists and turns here, and the critical reaction to the album-The Independent compared it to The Rolling Stones' Exile On The Main Street-was favorable, and justified in being so.
