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.

This may sound completely retarded, but hey Im not scared. I think in order to appreciate YHF you may first need to be a little more versed in Wilco. I think one of the things I liked most abuot YHF was seeing glimpses of it in their previous albums. It was like I had Bing There and loved some of the songs, and the others were just so much filler.

Then Summerteeth came out and it seemed like a very nice pop album with some more fantastic moments and songs on it, but it was just a little lacking from being a truly great album.

Then YHF came out, and it was like everything I ever wanted Wilco to be.

Maybe it is aking to seeing Godfather II without the context of the first. Its still a damn good flick, but its better to know the history.
