Jay Farrar

They're awesome! You should definitly see them if you get the chance, Cool band with lots of diverse influences. They sort of mix a lot of styles so you some jazz and mexican sounds mixed with more country-ish stuff. Best thing you can do is to download some stuff or buy their record. Their latest o...

I think there should only be Farrar originals. That just sounds like the most fun to me

I'd go for that as well.

I'd be up for it. It would even be cool if there could be some collaboration between board members. I could send my track to someone and they could add whatever they want to it

That sounds reasonable. I'm new to the Uncle Tupelo story so I didn't know much about them really before reading those chapters in the book. Having read the book recently and about the very dramatic breakup, I was surprised to read this little bit in the Jay interview that was posted the other day: ...

I always drink for a least 20 hours! I don't need sleep at all I'm expecting that this next Wilco book will tell me a hell of a lot more about the band: http://www.thewilcobook.com/ All these posts about inaccuracies in the book are great, keep this thread going for a while and there will enough mat...

There's interesting bit of info on the book in one of the articles in another thread: "Wilco: Learning How to Die," a biography of the band by Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot, was recently released by the Random House subsidiary Broadway Books. The alt-country bible No Depression magazine, who...

Do you know who is singing with Jay on Rex's Blues?

I've got loads of favorites already mentioned here like Lucinda, Jayhawks, Byrds and Townes but my absolute favorites are:

AC/DC
The Black Crowes
Wilco
The Allman Brothers Band

There's an interesting interview with Kot about how the book was written where he says: Kot: I appreciate the comment about the fairness because I did well over 50 interviews for this book and every anecdote, every story in this book has been confirmed by at least two people. So it wasn't a case of ...

Hi I'm new to this board (been lurking for a while though) and I was intrigued by this discussion as I've also read the book. I was also intrigued by the book in the beginning and the chapters about UT were interesting to me since I don't know a lot about it (yes, I started out as Wilco fan and have...
