Wilco-Songs Minimalistisch Folkdays … Wilco-Songs minimalistisch Musik | Jeff Tweedy: Together At Last Jeff Tweedy, das ist einerseits ein Singer-Songwriter, andererseits ist er der Macher von Wilco in Zusammenarbeit mit John Stirratt, Glenn Kotche, Mikael Jorgensen, Nels Cline und Pat Sansone. Er war auch einmal mit dem Band-Projekt Golden Smog zu hören und es gibt neue Bands von ihm genannt Loose Fur und Tweedy. Das zuerst kurz als Fakten. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER Das neue Album von Jeff Tweedy ›Together At Last‹ ist wie ein Überbleibsel aus einer Zeit, in der die Freude Americana, Alternative Country und Neofolk zu hören manchmal fast ungetrübt war. Kein Mainstream laberte irgendeinen Klimbim dazwischen und neben Befindlichkeits- und Beziehungstexten war Sozial- und Gesellschaftskritik in Lyrics ein Zeichen für Anspruch und Niveau. Die Chicagoer Independent-Band Wilco hatte sich mit den ersten Alben in den 1990er Jahren mit Leib und Seele in den Spirit einer ganzen Independent-Generation gespielt. Entstanden aus Uncle Tupelo war Wilco immer wichtig im Diskurs. Bezogen auf traditionelles Wissen über Country und Folk hatte die Band einen ureigenen Sound und integrierte manchmal auch neue und elektronische Klänge in den Kontext. Mittlerweile scheint Jeff Tweedy teils zynisch bis zum geht-nicht-mehr und nach ›Star Wars‹ und ›Schmilco‹ mit Cover-Artwork wie ein Cartoon kam ein ›Together At Last‹. Vergangenheit ist das Woody Guthrie Project, das er mit Nora Guthrie und Billy Bragg vor Jahren veröffentlichte. Vergangenheit sind die frühen Independent-Jahre, wenn es überhaupt noch Leute gibt, die sich daran erinnern. Vergangenheit ist die Band-Dokumentation ›Man in the Sand‹. Vergangenheit sind Songs wie ›In A Future Age‹. Ist die Akustikgitarre auf ›Together At Last‹ jemandem suspekt? Mit diesem Album werden noch mal Songs aus der Band-Geschichte von Wilco solo von Jeff Tweedy in Umlauf gebracht. Kryptisch-literarische Lyrics und Wilco-Kompositionen versiert und mit Feeling in minimalistischer Akustikversion. Ist das Strategie – oder Sentimentalität? Warum überhaupt hat eine ganze Independent-Szene Musik gemacht und Musik gehört? Auf dem Cover von ›Together At Last‹ hält sich Jeff Tweedy irgendwie im Schatten. Mainstream-Erfolg mochte der Independent-Musiker und Alternative-Rock-Artist zwar auch, aber dem ganzen Mainstream präsentiert er sich vielleicht doch nicht. | TINA KAROLINA STAUNER Titelangaben Folkdays … Wilco-Songs minimalistisch Jeff Tweedy: Together At Last (Anti, 2016).

Gatten This bibliography updates two extensive works designed to include comprehensively all significant works by and about Woody Guthrie. Richard A. Reuss published A Woody Guthrie Bibliography, 1912–1967 in 1968 and Jeffrey N. Gatten’s article “Woody Guthrie: A Bibliographic Update, 1968–1986” appeared in 1988. With this current article, researchers need only utilize these three bibliographies to identify all English- language items of relevance related to, or written by, Guthrie. Introduction Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (1912–67) was a singer, musician, composer, author, artist, radio personality, columnist, activist, and philosopher. By now, most anyone with interest knows the shorthand version of his biography: refugee from the Oklahoma dust bowl, California radio show performer, New York City socialist, musical documentarian of the Northwest, merchant marine, and finally decline and death from Huntington’s chorea.

  • SOUL ASYLUM Biography by Arthur Levy
    SOUL ASYLUM biography by Arthur Levy “It’s a crazy mixed up world out there, Someone’s always got a gun and it’s all about money You live with loneliness, or you live with somebody who’s crazy It’s just a crazy mixed up world …” (“Crazy Mixed Up World”) Chapter 1. Every Cloud Has One Renewed and revitalized, Soul Asylum founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy return to rock’s front line with THE SILVER LINING, their first new studio release since 1998’s Candy From a Stranger. That album inadvertently kicked off a seven-year sabbatical for the group, which telescoped into the death of bassist Karl Mueller in June 2005, the other founding member of the triumvirate that has steered Soul Asylum through rock’s white water for the past two decades plus. The re-emergence of the group on THE SILVER LINING is as much a reaffirmation of Soul Asylum’s commitment to the music as it is a dedication to Karl, who worked and played on the album right up until the end. They were joined in the studio by not-so-new heavyweight Minneapolis drummer Michael Bland (who has played with everyone from Paul Westerberg to Prince). The band is now complemented by Tommy Stinson on bass, a member of fellow Twin Cities band the Replacements since age 13, and a pal of Dan’s since he was in high school and Tommy in junior high. Tommy was the only friend that Karl could endorse to replace himself in the band. This hard-driving lineup was introduced for the first time in October 2005, when they played sold-out showcase dates at First Avenue in Minneapolis and the Bowery Ballroom in New York – within three days.
