		Tweedy may be the equivalent of a rock star in the No Depression scene.
		The show, for which Tweedy was joined by Wilco bandmate Jay Bennett, was the last of only three acoustic dates the duo performed on the East Coast.
		And Tweedy's reading of the Beatles' "Yesterday" was completely in keeping with the honesty that informs his most resonant work.

		And it has only enhanced Tweedy's reputation as a singer-songwriter, not to mention Wilco's status as one of the country's most respected bands.
		Music is Tweedy's means of expression; it's also the substance of that expression.
		"Jeff's kids mean the world to him," says Sam Jones, director of "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart", a documentary chronicling the making of the new album.

	Jeff Tweedy: American Royalist
		Tweedy (the non-Twin Cities figure) is the spirit of the group, but as usual a very self-effacing one: he is not in charge.
		Well, that Tweedy is something like the American equivalent of Britons who follow the activities of lesser royals with great interest; and this is something different than the old film-fan magazines which make up part of the thematic material of Exile on Main Street.
		Jeff Tweedy isn't so crazy about his immediate environment, a topic which we will return to, but he loves these people and treats them very well; the announcer of "Radio King" gets a warmer reception than FDR did.

		Jeff Tweedy steps up to the mic, Ken Coomer grabs a trumpet, and another guitarist hops on stage and they twist into that great inverted "Wild Thing" strum of "The King of Carrot Flowers Pt.
		Jeff jokes that it was tough to follow the Minus 5 because they do all new stuff and "We come out and do these songs we've done 200 times".
		Jeff is inspired, doing his own call and response: "Don't go/to the Empty Bottle", "Don't go/to the Metro" (Chicago music clubs).

		Wilco's Jeff Tweedy spent the end of the winter on the road.
		Tweedy picked his Gibson through a setlist that included graceful versions of "Sunken Treasure," "Smile All The Time," and "Passenger Side," which gave the show a bright sing-along sheen.
		Through the night, emotive ballads and amusing numbers came hand in hand, and whether he played them familiar or foreign, Jeff Tweedy proved that his greatest talent is his ability to write and deliver a stirring lyric.

	Jeff Tweedy at Martyrs
		In the case of Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy, his sold-out solo concert on Friday at Martyrs is as close to a return to his roots as he's likely to come.
		But Friday's gig brought Tweedy back to a small club on Lincoln Avenue for the first time since the old days, and the room's intimacy was a sharp contrast to the crowd-pleasing cattle calls he played at the Vic in January.
		To judge by Tweedy's set list, he certainly wasn't looking back; over the course of two hours and two dozen songs, he played no less than 14 new or unreleased tunes.

	Jeff Tweedy: Chelsea Walls: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		So let's just say this: Tweedy is at the height of his success while making the most challenging music of his career-- not an easy feat by any measure.
		The record's other seven tracks comprise his score for the film, and though each is effective in its proper capacity as soundtrack music, most of it isn't the sort of stuff you're going to feel compelled to listen to time and again.
		Tweedy layers swelling feedback and ambling guitar parts over Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche's sporadic percussion, but the loosely defined theme he plays isn't very commanding, and the sputtering vibes in the background don't help it congeal.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: Musical Events (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Uncle Tupelo, the band Tweedy had started with his friend Jay Farrar, was something genuinely new, blending the rhythms and storytelling of traditional country with the mood and volume of punk, and evoking an imaginary America where the Carter Family, D. Boon, and J Mascis sat around a room making music together.
		At the time, the consensus was that Tweedy, though talented, was the lesser of the band's two songwriters, a poppier understudy to the visionary Farrar, who, even as a young man, had an air of solemn authority about him.
		The bizarre thing about this was that Tweedy had written lyrics for a very different album, a brutal portrait of the fatigue, emotional violence, and anomie that can arise in a relationship, only to bury them beneath studio frippery.

	PopMatters Music Feature \| Two Cheers for Jeff Tweedy
		Tweedy's hesitancy during these interviews was remarkable, since publicity itself seems essential to the band's identity.
		Tweedy's reserve is thus also striking given his near obsession with the techne of broadcasting.
		And Tweedy was not averse to this critique: consider Uncle Tupelo's "We've Been Had," an anthem of fan rancor, a song so nagging, funny, and intent it outpaced its conceit.

	Dr. Filth's Personality Profile for Wilco & Uncle Tupelo's Jeff Tweedy
		When Jeff Tweedy was playing with Jay Farrar in Uncle Tupelo, the too-frequent assumption amongst those who were “there” was that Tweedy was the second banana, because Farrar wrote all the miserable, "deep" numbers, and Tweedy wrote the upbeat, fun ones that made the girls holler.
		Tweedy had crossed over to the side of the dark dramaturgists.
		Tweedy’s own increased skill on the guitar made up for any uncomfortable absences that might have been present on the stage, and the song selection was impeccable, even if there was the odd grumble that it included no songs from Summer Teeth.

		Jeff Tweedy made the headlines with Uncle Tupelo in the '80s and early '90s.
		The band was still young since its formation as it suffered a huge loss in 1994, when Farrar abruptly quit the band and started "Son Volt." Now Tweedy and the remaining members of the band revived themselves and picked up as "Wilco." The band released their maiden album, A.M. in 1995.
		Tweedy has also been a part of popular band "Golden Smog," which was an all-star collective which also included members of the Soul Asylum, Jayhawks, and Big Star.

		While I was impressed by the bombast that accompanied that show, I had a secret delight for the softer sing-alongs that they ended their set with.
		For a long time, I have been collecting bootlegs of Tweedy's solo shows from Chicago...so I knew that seeing Tweedy solo was a chance to hear acoustic guitar, old material, the harmonica, and many sing along type songs.
		Tweedy started taking requests late in the encores...If I could have requested something "bizarre' it would have been Pecan Pie - and this is the song he finished with.

		Kind of ironic that the "Cosmic American Music" Gram Parsons championed (with little success) during his brief life would be reborn as an utterly hip (if not commercially successful) genre known as alt-country or "No Depression" — taken from the title of Uncle Tupelo’s 1990 debut album.
		And ironic, certainly, that just when Uncle Tupelo found an appreciative audience, its leaders, Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, had a mysterious falling out and went off to create their own bands.

		Since two of the members of the band are also members of Wilco, there was high suspicion that part of the night might turn into a Wilco show...although after they were finished they took away their instruments and stands, etc. Oh well.
		Honestly, the Tweedy set started out slow for the first 4-5 songs as most of them had been played the night before.
		Tweedy did a muted version of "Misunderstood"...instead of the usual shouts of "NOTHING!" during the finale, he more or less did a standard take on the song.

		Whatever the answer, Jeff Tweedy, courageous hero and vanquisher of major-label foes, not to mention front man and brain trust for Chicago’s alt.this-n-that rockers, Wilco, has found success, and it has come hand in hand with major risks.
		Adhering to a sort of internal logic to decide, Tweedy said that any song that was intrinsically important to the record which didn’t fit the sonic criteria was worked on diligently until it did.
		The success of the music Tweedy and his mates have made and the pleasure others derive from it bears an inverse relationship to their collective desire to please themselves—and in that equation success is not always a foregone conclusion.

		Yet there were several moments throughout the hour-and-45-minute set that deserved the rabid response, as Tweedy proved that he remains one of the most talented figures in American rock, with or without his band.
		When Tweedy returned for a second encore with Kotche, he quipped that the drummer was "keeping the seat warm until Spencer turns 18." It was a joke, of course, but while Kotche went on to back Tweedy with technical precision, it was the youngster behind the kit who provided the night's emotional high point.

		One of the accidental founders of the No Depression movement, Tweedy formed Wilco after the breakup of Uncle Tupelo.
		Though many critics regarded his Tupelo partner Fararr as the more talented singer and songwriter of the pair, Tweedy has proven himself at least equally as gifted - Wilco's 1995 album "A.M." was a critical and commercial success.
		In the years following, Tweedy and his Wilco bandmates recorded two of their most important and groundbreaking albums to date - "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" in 2002 and "A Ghost Is Born" in 2004.

		Jeff Tweedy has been uncomfortably wearing the thorny crown of a reluctant frontman for more than a decade since he and Jay Farrar walked away from Uncle Tupelo, full of rancor and unresolved feelings.
		Equal parts pop genius and stark noise deconstructionist, Jeff Tweedy’s greatest gift is his restless soul and penchant for reinvention-no Wilco album ever sounded like any of its predecessors.
