Let's Go (So We Can Get Back): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc. by Jeff Tweedy
4.0
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.
