Wilco opts for something completly different (Dec 1996)

Wilco is one of two bands that rose out of the ashes of the late Uncle Tupelo, considered one of the fathers of the current alternative country scene. Wilco is lead by Jeff Tweedy while the other UT offshoot is Son Volt, headed by Jay Farrar. Wilco released its debut, "A.M." in 1995 to critically positive reviews.
