Definitely on the want list. Looking forward to hearing those two Golden Smog tunes as well.

And later Tweedy writes "Radio King" an achingly beautiful song. Both songwriters clearly listened to a lot of radio.ThrasherBear wrote:Pretty ironic that Jeff titles his 1st post-UT album "AM", while "AM" inspires one of the all-time great lines of an all-time great song on Jay's 1st record.
Listened again and decided it couldn't topple (from my list): Allman Brothers Band "Brothers and Sisters", The Byrds "Untitled" or Steppenwolf "Monster", the 3 easiest targets from my top 100. But (!) segued into The Bottle Rockets "The Brooklyn Side" and it did seem worthy. So out goes Brothers and Sisters.turpentim wrote:I've always considered 'Home Grown' the stronger record.

To my knowledge, it is the first original UT song to appear on any record by Farrar or Tweedy since the breakup. And it's definitely the first that none of us have ever heard. If it was recorded when UT was still together (which it sounds like it was), Farrar certainly plays on it, unless it's Tweedy alone with an acoustic guitar or something. Either way, I feel certain Farrar had to consent to its release. And if there's any justice in the world (I'm not sure there is), Farrar will also receive some small royalties from sales of the A.M. reissue.ThrasherBear wrote:A.M.: Deluxe Edition comprises the original album and eight unreleased bonus tracks—including Uncle Tupelo’s last studio recording, "When You Find Trouble,"
Is this the 1st UT recording to appear on a non-UT release? I assume Jay had to consent. I wonder if he's actually on it.

Oddly, this link only lets you hear the first little bit of the song. If you go to the original link I sent and click on the PLAY (>) button on the SoundCloud image, you can hear the whole thing.
