  • As one of the founders of Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedy helped jumpstart the alt-country movement in the early 1990s. But in Wilco - the band that rose from Uncle Tupelo’s ashes - the singer-songwriter set his sights on more ambitious musical adventures. Explore Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in this episode of Liner Notes.

    This album is depressing, uplifting, haunting, and utterly beautiful all at the same time. Every track is golden and I never get tired of listening to it. Wilco made something special with this album.

    The very definition of an album that creeps onto you, quietly, until you realise you can't live without it.
    Also I didn't know until now that Jim O'Rourke had a hand in producing the album. This is a revelation to me.

    One of the best and one of my favorite albums of all time. It's hard to put into words how much Yankee Hotel Foxtrot means to me. It's a very cathartic album to listen to in many ways, and usually brings tears. They've many amazing albums, but this album is on another level entirely. A modern masterpiece. Wilco will love you, baby.

    My favorite part of YHF is how in Reservations you can hear the piano bench creak as he leans forward and back with every chord. At least that's what it sounds like to me.

    I was working at Tower Records when I got "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" as a promo CD. I had loved "Being There."
    When I heard "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" for the first time, it blew my mind. But it can take some listens to grasp.

    Such a great album, so many layers to unravel. It's definitely in my top 5, if not my top 2 favorite albums. It's mean't so much to me over the years. It's hard to pick a favorite song, but right now I'm really loving "Poor Places." I think every band wishes they could make something like this. Thanks for the great overview, Pitckfork! -- Stefan / The Electric Splash

    The progression of Being There, Summerteeth and YHF reminds me a lot of Rubber Soul to Revolver to Sgt Pepper. Cranks up a notch each time and increasingly gets experimental. You can make comparisons to A Ghost is Born and the White album 🤔

    I've heard an entire Wilco show; there's just nothing there. Tons of ordinary performers can be strikingly better. I wouldn't pay Tweedy to play a backyard birthday party.
