2009 reissue on 180-gram vinyl, with a CD. Singer/songwriter Jeff Tweedy formed Wilco in 1994, and is joined by three of his bandmates from the alt-country pioneer band Uncle Tupelo. A.M., the band's debut, is reminiscent of that Tupelo magic: their songs are a little more conventionally country, but there's still a lot of adventure and risk taking going on. Casino Queen is a Bluesy, twangy number, a snapshot of country life-and, in this way, is representative of how Wilco differs from Tupelo. Their traditional Box Full of Letters sticks to that standard mid-tempo Country-Rock sound, but it's executed brilliantly. I Must Be High, the killer opening song, is beautifully melodious, and indicates that Wilco can shift the genre while still leaving it accessible. Open up a beer, sit back, and put on this LP. I Must Be High, Casino Queen, Box Full of Letters, Shouldn't Be Ashamed, Pick Up the Change, I Thought I Held You, That's Not the Issue, It's Just That Simple, Should've Been in Love, Passenger Side, Dash 7, Blue Eyed Soul, Too Far Apart, I Must Be High, Casino Queen, Box Full of Letters, Shouldn't Be Ashamed, Pick Up the Change, I Thought I Held You, That's Not the Issue, It S Just That Simple, Should've Been in Love, Passenger Side, Dash 7, Blue Eyed Soul, Too Far Apart
