Too bad they never released anything quite the same :(

I love all of their albums, each for different reasons. YHF is certainly the one that had the greatest impact though.

Phenomenal record. What do you think of the "Tweedy" record? Some real gems in there but personally I think they could've trimmed little fat to make a more solid cohesive piece of work. I would've preferred that with the other songs released as b-sides, but hey, it's their call and I love the material.

My Tweedy jam:

I love Tweedy, all the way trough. I think it's some of his best songwriting in years. Also, normally I'd be skeptical of the whole "father/son" dynamic as just a dad appeasing his kid, but damn dude, Spencer can play. I'm a fan of his band The Blisters as well. Check them out, their album Finally Bored is fantastic.

But yeah, Tweedy is great!

Word! I haven't had a chance to listen to Spencer's band yet but I had the same thought about the father/son dynamic, but Holllly hell can he drum. I love how the album kicks off in what seems to be a really weird time signature when it's actually 3/4 --- very cool stuff.

I'll be sure to check out The Blisters. All the best to you!

and to you. Let me know what you think of the Blisters album. The bassist is a friend. They're tracking a new album. I'm pretty psyched.
