Jeff Tweedy's Top 10 Live Albums....

On August 16, Jeff Tweedy is playing the NC Museum of Art (5 min from my house). Tweedy along with Jay Farrar fronted Uncle Tupelo, which is credited as being the flag-bearers of the "alt-country" movement in the 90s.

Tupelo has since parted ways. Farrar fronts Son Volt which had a mainstream hit with Drown. (I actually just purchased Son Volt:A Retrospective 1995-2000 today)
Tweedy fronts the critically acclaimed Wilco. Pitchfork Media gave Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 10 stars. That's unheard of.



I stole the following from another website:
