I am a huge fan of Wilco, so I decided I'd give Uncle Tupelo a chance, and I'm sure glad that I did. Every song is good and you can listen to the whole album straight through, which is always a bonus. What's great about this band is it was just a bunch of you average guys singing about growing up in a small town and how they feel about life. I could relate to this album which is all that much better. When I sing along, I feel like I'm singing about myself. I'd like to get together with these guys and just put back a few while they serenade me. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. Perfect music for summerdays on the deck with a cooler full of beer!Free Music Review: Dive bar jukebox must

I discovered Uncle Tupelo in reverse after I purchased Son Volt's debut album Trace and then I purchased Wilco's Debut albumA.M. and thought if Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy are this good solo, imagine how incredible they would be together and I wasn't disappointed. You listen to this album and you feel you should be hunched over a bar drinking a beer. What is surprising of all the dumpy bars I have frequented you are hard pressed to find anything from Uncle Tupelo and that is almost criminal. If You like Wilco or Son Volt this is a nice retro addition to your collection and if you have'nt tried any of these bands,SHAME ON YOU!!

Where can I start? Uncle Tupelo's raucus guitars grind. Uncle Tupelo's folk picking rolls flawlessly. Uncle Tupelo's songwriting, music, and sound are legendary. It's often said that anyone who's ever been into them formed a band. It's true. The trip down our rich religious and folk musical paths are refreshing, as are the louder trips down the electric highway. They can have you dancing one minute (The Long Cut) and then weeping bitterly (Fatal Wound) without even knowing why. Anyone who's ever lived in Nowhere, USA will feel this music. It's a damn shame they're gone, but Wilco and Son Volt keep the flame alive. Thanks, guys.Free Music Review: Perfect

I find this a very satisfying overview of Uncle Tupelo's career. One of the things I'm struck by is how tight the band was, especially in their 'middle' era, where the drum stops are so perfect. Farrar's guitar in the later tracks reminds me of J Mascis. The other thing that strikes is me is how heavily influenced the band was by the music of Neil Young. For some reason that didn't come out so much, to my ears, when I was listening to them back in the 1980s.
Superb collection, highly recommended. I still follow Wilco and Son Volt, though neither band has ever attained the sheer intensity of the best Uncle Tupelo.

Everything about this release is perfect. I remember first hearing Uncle Tupelo in 1990 when I was a senior at Belleville West High School. It was a great ride watching this band grow. I remember hanging up the wonderful review of Still Feel Gone from Rolling Stone magazine years ago. Reading the liner notes and listening to the songs was like journeying back into time. I am very proud of these guys. From the opening notes of No Depression to the last notes of hearing them live this album is a true gem. A must for any true fan. Watch for the upcoming reissued releases as well.
