Wilco on Austin City Limits

Rockboy, Ejlif, No the song is clearly "Thanks I get".

Volkswagon used 2 different songs for their commercials.
I have read that Wilco was going to put it on the Sky Blue recording , but they chose to not include it. Wonder why...

Rockyboy, I know what you mean, but search out this song even if you have to go to Limeware, it really is a toe tapper for us older (but wiser) gents.

P.S. I still play AC/DC, CCR. BTO and Led Zepplin and wow, I will be 55 in about 3 weeks !

Okay, okay - I give up! I'll give Wilco another try and I'll track down "Thanks I get". But, the toes better tap -or else! : )

I had the same problem with Dave Mathews band. A friend loaned me their greatest hits. Folks, ALL THE SONGS SOUNDED THE SAME!!! Honestly, I don't know how Dave keeps the songs straight when he's giving a concert.

Go back and listen to the Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Alan Parsons, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, etc. Beautiful music, great lyrics, and great arrangements. True classics. I'd be willing to bet that Wilco won't be around by this time next year. Any takers?

Wilco not only will be around by this time next year but they will likely have a new release that will be on the verge of gold status in sales, even though they give every release away via their web site for free.
Wilco will probably be headlining arenas in the next two or three years.

come on rockboy stop living in the past. You need a steady dose of Wilco, Arcade Fire, M. Ward, Ryan Adams, Of Montreal, The National, Andrew Bird... stop me when you have heard any of these artist ...

I agree with Time, I think Wilco has legs. I get the impression that these guys have been around the block a few times and hope they have good things in front of them. I highly recommend checking them out on Austin City Limits.

Seeing/ hearing live performances can be a revelation at times. I live in a town with a large population of pro musicians. These guys will occasionally pay the bills by playing in cover bands. One of these groups, (several members of a band called the Fuzzy Sprouts) do a show consisting of the album "Abbey Road." First of all, these guys nail this album stone cold. I'm 45 and I've heard the Beatles so many times that they sound like elevator music. Hearing this music live has completely renewed my appreciation of the Beatles. To tell the truth, I was never really a Beatles fan until now. I grew up a Stones, Who, Zep kind of guy. Abbey Road is now one of my all time favs. An old dog can learn new tricks.

Now that I’m reminiscing, I used to think Bruce Springsteen fans were a bunch of yuppies until I saw him live in 1977. After that, I thought he was the greatest (well... up to "Born in The USA" anyway).

For all those who just got into Wilco and like alt-country/southern rock. You might look into Uncle Tupelo. They are the prequil to Wilco. Jeff Tweedy, Jay Farrar and Mike Heidorn. A good ablum to pick up would be Anthology. Pretty much a greatest hits album. Very interesting to hear their sound mature in such a short time.

IMO, March 16th-20th is the best Tupelo album by far. It is all acustic and difinitely has several toe tappers.
