That's an interesting point. I really don't care too much for the Wilco I hear on Sirius Outlaw, but I always catch myself enjoying Son Volt ... maybe I'd like early Wilco?
I'll have to give em another shot.

Check out AM for sure and some of there Billy Bragg stuff. Also Son Volt and Uncle Tupello are amazing.

Like the poster mentioned above me, AM was made right after the Uncle Tupelo divide and basically used the whole band except Farrar (Son Volt)... You'd probably enjoy Being There, too...
Their work with Billy Bragg (Mermaid Avenue Vol. 1 & 2) is essential... well atleast the first one..
Uncle Tupelo is probably one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time, 4 incredible records...

Just created a Spotify playlist: A.M., two albums by Son Volt, now give me one album(just one) from Uncle Tupelo.
Tks

I would suggest starting at the beginning with AM, which isnt a big departure from the country-ish tunes Tweedy was writing with Uncle Tupelo.
I'd go with this line of though. Might as well start at the beginning and see how they develop.

Box Full of Letters is one of my favorite songs from all three bands.

Maybe. Son Volt is one of my favorite bands, almost on par with Uncle Tupelo. I keep trying to like Wilco but haven't managed to get into them yet. Too much of a departure for Beatles style pop for my taste. I'm not really trying to put Wilco down as they are much better than most bands out there, just not what I'm wanting to hear.

I'll second the Silos - Cuba; thanks again for that one.
Do you ever listen to T-Bone Burnett? I found a couple of CD's I haven't listened to in a couple of decades by him and can't stop playing them. Seems like it would be considered to be alt-country since he covers so many styles but not sure. He never caught on which is a shame because the music is good and the playing is incredibly tight.

Whatever else happens in his career, T-Bone's greatest achievement will forever be acting as recording engineer on the original version of THIS

The two I'm listening to are Truth Decay and T Bone Burnett. Truth Decay is a bit more pop oriented and probably the more accessible of the two.
ETA: That Laugh In video is a great find. T-Bone goes back a ways and the best comparison may be to Ry Cooder and roots music is probably the closest description overall.

This is a pretty good ranking, although I would probably switch AM and Whole Love. The top 4 really stand above the rest though. You can't go wrong with either of those.

Would be mine - they're all really good. Not many bands sound this diverse over their catalogue while still being very recognizable
