Of all the possible (and realistic) collaborations I can imagine Jay doing, a band with Gary Louris is the one I'd love to see. Their writing sensibilities, voices, and guitar playing just seem so complementary. Let's see, while I'm at it I guess Jim Boquist would logically be their bass player. As much as I'd love for Mike to be at the kit, that would turn it into Son Volt, so maybe Tim O'Reagan. Eric Heywood too? Damn, that could be awesome!

Found this interesting tidbit in a recent interview:
http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/201 ... php?page=2Was there a time when you wouldn't play Uncle Tupelo songs? I remember you getting annoyed when people called for those songs.
No, it comes with the territory. They had good reason for shouting for those songs. I think it is disappointing to see things written about the bitter break up of Uncle Tupelo. It was not supposed to transpire that way. I can point to one emblematic example of that. The band Golden Smog, when Gary Louis asked me to be in that band, I thought it would be a good opportunity to redefine the relationship between Jeff Tweedy and myself. I agreed to it. To my knowledge, Jeff never did agree with that.
