Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend....

I bought the latest Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and Cowboy Junkies, Lay It Down and Black Eyed Man. Ever since I started on this path of improving my sound system I have been on this quest to expand my musical taste. I had heard lots of good things about Wilco and numerous things about Cowboy Junkies.

Anyway, I put on Lay It Down and Margo Timmons, that voice, she does something to me. Next, I put on the Wilco CD. It had a Beatles meets Roger Waters meets the Beach Boys meets Lou Reed kind of thing happening. Then I put on Cowboy Junkies' Black Eyed Man and that voice, she drives me crazy.

So, I spent my weekend between Cowboy Junkies and Wilco and I think I am going to get alot more of Cowboy Junkies, but I am not sure I understand Wilco. I went online to read some reviews about Wilco and according to what I read, they are the next coming of something, but what? I think I am missing something, but they are still new to me.

YHF is a strange one. Bought it a while back, and I think the first time I played it (while driving) all I got was "I am an American aquarium drinker" and a bunch of dissonant openings. Then, found it in my car again on a long drive to NYC, and it really started to grow on me. Then it started to really, really grow on me. Now I think its a great album... Although, if anyone can explain the aforementioned lyric to me, I'd be much appreciative! ; )

Give it some time and throw it one every now and again. Jesus, etc., Heavy Metal Drummer--good fun songs.
