As a passionate fan of Wilco, I blindly purchased the CD solely because it contained a Wilco song, "War on War", hoping that the CD would contain other great music and perhaps produce a diamond in the rough band to my collection. And the CD filled my hopes on all accounts. It's a really great record.
The music is largely acoustic-based but contains an eclectic blend of folk, country, bluegrass and rock sounds. Lyrically and musically this CD delivers the goods.
Some bands that caught my eye from this album are Jim White, Kelly Jo Phelps, Hayden, Len Brown Society, and Mighty Flashlight, but all of the bands are decent and there isn't a dud on the record.
