Title: Let's Go (So We Can Get Back) Pdf A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc.
The singer, guitarist, and songwriter, best known for his work with Wilco, opens up about his past, his songs, the music, and the people that have inspired him.
Few bands have inspired as much devotion as the Chicago rock band Wilco, and it's thanks, in large part, to the band's singer, songwriter, and guiding light: Jeff Tweedy. But while his songs and music have been endlessly discussed and analyzed, Jeff has rarely talked so directly about himself, his life, and his artistic process.
Until now. In his long-awaited memoir, Jeff will tell stories about his childhood in Belleville, Illinois; the St. Louis record store, rock clubs, and live-music circuit that sparked his songwriting and performing career; and the Chicago scene that brought it all together. He'll also talk in-depth about his collaborators in Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, and more, and write lovingly about his parents; wife, Susie; and sons, Spencer and Sam. Honest, funny, and disarming, Tweedy's memoir will bring listeners inside both his life and his musical process, illuminating his singular genius and sharing his story, voice, and perspective for the first time.
Includes a bonus with a comic strip and song lyrics.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Not only for Wilco fans ... music fans too I've just finished this book in a really quick read. Anyone who cares about music, rock n roll will love this honest memoir about the struggles of being a musician, drug addict, and anxiety issues. Tweedy is honest and sincere in all of it. I started the audiobook (read by Tweedy himself) and you can hear the emotion in his voice so don't forget to listen to that too.Great read I'm a huge Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt/Wilco fan but I wasn't really anticipating this book in any way until I read an excerpt somewhere online and I enjoyed it so I bought the book.This is not a chronological record of Tweedy's life (though it's roughly chronological), I'd say it's more a collection of thoughts on his life, himself, songwriting, music, relationships, etc. I find his writing style very entertaining - he's not trying to impress us, he's not trying to sugarcoat anything, himself included.You get some good (and sad) stories from his childhood and how music became incredibly important to him. He doesn't go into detail about every album, every song, every tour, or anything like that. The focus drifts among different topics, but not in a bad way at all. He doesn't grind an ax with Jay Farrar - he portrays them both as dysfunctional introverts who connected through music until Jay walked away (completely). I don't find that I need to take sides with either one of them - there is no bad guy.He touches on the sad, tragic figure of Jay Bennett, giving him effusive praise for his musicianship and the collaborative connection they formed early - but also talks about some of the dysfunction in that relationship, as well as addiction issues, that led to them no longer being able to work together anymore.What I really related to was his connection with music growing up. I'm roughly the same age and music (records, concerts, playing/writing/performing) essentially "saved" me in a similar way. He comes across as a relatively normal, likable guy who maybe isn't great with people. Well, who really isn't great with people. He presents himself in an honest, earnest way. He's not trying to convince us of anything, he's not trying to win the Jeff vs. Jay debate, he's not portraying himself as some kind of tortured genius, he's not worried if we'll like him.But I do like him. This book is funny, sad, poignant, inspiring, insightful and fun to read. I've would've been happy if it was twice as long. I connected with many things in here on a personal level. Your experience may be different. I've already started reading it again.Does not Disappoint Although I am a big fan of Jeff Tweedy’s music, I didn’t expect too much from this book just because I’ve frequently been disappointed by musician’s memoirs. So it is a pleasant surprise that this book is so good.This is a very honest, warts and all, story of his life thus far. A lot of good, juicy tidbits for Wilco fans. It is also surprisingly very funny in parts. I laughed out loud several times (his imagined response to “How about those Cubs?” Is classic.) Jeff Tweedy is a thoughtful, smart guy and this book proves it.
