Jeff Tweedy – Together At Last

Well, here is a simple concept: Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy releases stark solo renditions of eleven songs from his arsenal.  He draws mostly from his work with Wilco, but he gives us a pair from his side projects: Golden Smog and Loose Fur.  

As carefully crafted a sonic experience as Wilco is, the revelation of Together At Last is how much Wilco is ultimately Tweedy’s voice.  These songs lose nothing stripped down.  They are not better or worse, just different; amazingly not that different.  Wilco’s arrangements and players are complex and artsy (in a good way), but the privilege here is that the songs are so pure and clean.
