Uncle Tupelo Artist Snapshot:

Uncle Tupelo were the quintessential alt-country band. The Illinois quartet took the rust-belt angst that fueled bands like the Replacements and Husker Du and infused it with the high-lonesome twang of classic country. Although the band was together for less than a decade, they left a supreme legacy, with founding members Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy going on to major careers of their own following the band's demise--Farrar as a solo artists and also with his band Son Volt; and Tweedy as the leader of Wilco, arguably the most important American band of the late-20th/early-21st century.

Review

Rolling Stone (11/29/90) - "...with thunderous gales of guitar grunge...the songs--aching ballads and country-punk raveups--careen forward with equal parts urgency and earnestness. This is what it would have sounded like if Hank Williams had fronted Husker Du."
Spin (9/99, p.153) - Ranked #63 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s."
Q (10/03, p.131) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A grainy authority permeates 1990's NO DEPRESSION..."
Uncut (9/03, p.122) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...It's the most rock-oriented album they made, owing as much to Husker Du as to Hank Williams..."
Alternative Press (3/01, p.104) - Included in A.P.'s "10 Essential Alt-Country Albums" - "...Countrified punk rock with a few acoustic parlor songs interspersed to break up the train-wreck pace..."
The Bob (Fall/90) - "`No Depression' is a Norman Rockwell illustration turned upside down, a portrait of the American heartland that offers no hope, no joy, no alternatives, and no escape...As bleak as this landscape gets, Uncle Tupelo lifts the mood by conducting themselves like a rural power trio, mixing equal parts Who-style guitar lunacy and Husker Du-ish tidal waves of noise."
