Reviews Customer Reviews for A M      wilco is cool      Rating:      its really good, quite a bit different than their later stuff, but still really good. if you dig alt country, there is no reason to not have this album     Customer Reviews for A M Cd      Oh so utterly perfect      Rating:      I've owned this disc for several years, but only got around to listening to it a week or so ago, and man oh man did I miss out.. I've lived in St Louis for the last decade or so, and thus most of these songs have deeper meaning for me, particularly Heavy Metal Drummer, Casino Queen, and the southern Illinois-esque desperation that makes Passenger Side so real and special. I had the pleasure of seeing them at the great Fox theater here, and it did not disappoint one bit. I think this recording is probably their best, and the most similar other recording of theirs is Being There. To give perspective, I'm really more of an indie rock to acid jazz/trip hop kind of guy, and my foray into Wilco started with Summerteeth, which is probably their most indie rock record. I'm pretty sure I learned of Wilco from listening to Radio Paradise. However, this recording is just so complex and beautiful that I cannot help falling in love with it. I've also been listening to Ryan Adams lately (also heard of him on Radio Paradise). Anyone who is being turned on to alt-country (aka insurgent country) from a similar background of interests as mine should seriously check out Ween's country album (12 golden country greats) -- you will poop yer pants laughing and enjoy some really fantastic songs played by some serious musicians. You might also check out Hem. I've seen them live and they are also incredibly talented.. Editorial Reviews for A M Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Comprising frontman Jeff Tweedy and other former members of alt.country legend Uncle Tupelo, Wilco was an apple that didn't fall far from the tree. A.M., the band's debut, continues that older group's brand of updated country-rock (emphasis on "rock") and emotionally powerful songwriting. However, many of the best creations here--the driver's-licenseless drunk in "Passenger Side," the bar-band celebration of riverboat gambling on "Casino Queen"--sport an unprecedented sense of humor and are unexpectedly catchy, too. Best of all might be "It's Just That Simple," in which Tweedy turns the mic over to the high and mournful singing of bassist John Stirratt. --David Cantwell
