Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend....


I bought the latest Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and Cowboy Junkies, Lay It Down and Black Eyed Man. Ever since I started on this path of improving my sound system I have been on this quest to expand my musical taste. I had heard lots of good things about Wilco and numerous things about Cowboy Junkies.

Anyway, I put on Lay It Down and Margo Timmons, that voice, she does something to me. Next, I put on the Wilco CD. It had a Beatles meets Roger Waters meets the Beach Boys meets Lou Reed kind of thing happening. Then I put on Cowboy Junkies' Black Eyed Man and that voice, she drives me crazy.

So, I spent my weekend between Cowboy Junkies and Wilco and I think I am going to get alot more of Cowboy Junkies, but I am not sure I understand Wilco. I went online to read some reviews about Wilco and according to what I read, they are the next coming of something, but what? I think I am missing something, but they are still new to me.

That is too funny. I noticed that, too. I wonder how much music I would love if only I listened to it 20 or 30 times before I came to my final conclusion. Is music like a good set of speakers? Does it require a break in period I can't say that I hate Wilco; hate is such a strong word, but I don't know if I am liked them that much. I mean, I read about how Wilco's YHF is a masterpiece and then I feel stupid because I can't hear the genius in the music.

It is interesting that Wilco's reviews are black and white. People loved YHF or they hated it.
