My family was so eager for this book that we accidentally preordered two copies.

The bits about his songwriting process were my favorite. The influence of books, the mumble tracks= fascinating. I also enjoyed his ruminations on vulnerability as an asset and on creativity as a product of work ethic and drive.

This was a nostalgic read for me: Cicero’s, Mississippi Nights, Euclid Records...and friends of mine who saw Wilco every time they played St. Louis. It was also a fascinating glimpse behind the songs I know so well. Books like this remind me how much I depend upon music and appreciate good lyrics and originality of instrumentation.

I really enjoyed this and learned some new stuff. A few lines struck me as brilliant. Some made me laugh out loud. I got everything I wanted out of a memoir, really.

Excellent and Honest

This really opens up Wilco's music and history for me. Hearing him talk about his family was quite the tear-jerker.

This book was wonderfully written, and has a familiar tone if you're a Wilco fan. We follow the life of Jeff Tweedy, and his musical journey from Uncle Tupelo to Wilco, to his father-son band Tweedy. Sprinkled in are some of the best statements on creativity and songwriting I've ever read. It changed the way I think about songwriting and the true work of making music. This book was inspiring, and I was sad when it was over.
