Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Before Anodyne, Uncle Tupelo already had one masterpiece in 1991's noisy and tense Still Feel Gone, but this album, the band's major-label debut, had even grander ambitions. Replacing the group's grungy guitar with soaring lap and pedal-steel fills, plus fiddle and mandolin breaks both sweet and raucous, Anodyne is overflowing with a spacious grandeur that alludes to, and then makes it own, everything from the Band and the Stones and Neil Young (both as a solo artist and with Crazy Horse) to old Acuff-Rose songs--all of which is just to say that it's among the best roots-rock records ever made. --David Cantwell

CD Description

Recorded live in the studio amid mounting tension between singer/songwriters Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy, ANODYNE provedto be Uncle Tupelo's last and finest album. These final sessions find Farrar and Tweedy crafting a seamless mesh of country, folk and rock that both encompasses and exceeds the range of previous albums.
With the straight-up country of "Acuff-Rose" (a tribute to the famed songwriting duo), and the folky "New Madrid", Tupelo displays the traditional leanings found on MARCH 16-20, 1992, while both the bass-heavy "The Long Cut" and the barnstorming "Chickamauga" broaden the punk-tinged sound of NO DEPRESSION and STILL FEEL GONE. WhileANODYNE also features a raucous collaboration with the lateDoug Sahm on "Give Back the Key to My Heart", its most transcendent moments are the world-weary "Slate" and the sublimetitle track, one of the most beautifully bittersweet songs penned since Neil Young's "Helpless". Although ANODYNE proved to be the end of the line for Uncle Tupelo, it opened up more expansive roads for Farrar and Tweedy, who would go on separately to make such superb albums as Son Volt's TRACE andWilco's SUMMER TEETH respectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars cosmic american music, 18 Jan 2001
By edshanahan@eircom.net (athlone, ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anodyne (Audio CD)
yeah, this is just what we wanted. a terrific achievement; one part punk, one part rock and roll and two parts country. like exile on main st., this record effortlessly manages to combine a myriad of different styles and influences and comes out as an amalgamation of all the strongest points of each. in this day and age, when the the critics are wetting themselves over the likes of radiohead, surely the most innovative are not those who use all the latest technology and gadgetry, but those who can use good old fashioned rock and roll instruments and still sound fresh, new and exciting. a staggeringly good album.

standout tracks: steal the crumbs, the long cut, new madrid, high water.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seminal alt-country album, 14 Feb 2002
By Jason Parkes "We're all Frankies'" (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Anodyne (Audio CD)
'Anodyne' was the final and best release from Uncle Tupelo- a band who are up there with Big Star & Husker Du in terms of duelling songwriters...It picks up where the Peter Buck-produced covers album left off- having been recorded live in the studio. It sounds like the missing-link between The Replacements 'All Shook Down' and Whiskeytown's 'Stranger's Almanac'. In years to come it will be seen as a seminal, influential album. It would be nice of Uncle Tupelo's back catalogue to be given a UK reissue- the same goes for the first four albums by American Music Club.

As with 'Candy Apple Grey' or '#1 Record', there are two gifted songwriters in Uncle Tupelo- Jay Farrar (who would later front Son Volt & has just released a solo album with members of Flaming Lips) and Jeff Tweedy (who would form 'Wilco', play with Golden Smog and guests on 'Insignificance' by Jim O'Rourke). Creatively this has made a wonderful album, on a personal level it saw an end to the band (kind of..).

'Slate' is a typically melancholic album- a definite influence on the opening track on 'Stranger's Almanac'. Farrar's vocals fit his songs which are darker than Tweedy's- who plays bass and sings harmonics on this track. The rest of the band will be familiar to Wilco fans- Ken Coomer plays drums, Max Johnston plays an array of instruments (as he would on 'AM' & 'Being There')and John Stirrat plays bass & guitar...'Acuff-Rose' begins with Johnston's Appalachian-fiddleplaying- which will go down well with those who liked the 'O Brother Where Art Thou' soundtrack or early albums by The Band...'The Long Cut' is a more convetional rocker- sounding like Paul Westerberg fronting The Only Ones playing a Whiskeytown song...'Give me Back My Heart' is written by guesting vocalist/musician Doug Sahm- and is reminiscent of Wilco songs like 'Forget the Flowers' & 'Passenger Side'...Farrar's 'Chickamauga' mines the world of REM's 'Fables of the Reconstruction of the Fables'- with a punk edge. This is as great as anything by The Replacements of The Scud Mountain Boys...'New Madrid' is a classic Tweedy song- one that Wilco played on their 'Being There' tour in the UK- and is close to tracks like 'It's Just That Simple' & 'Far Far Away'- but much better!: "Karen's over the landfill"...Next up is the title track- which is as dark as 'All Shook Down', 'Darklands' or 'The Flowers of Guatemala'. The steel guitars by Johnston & Maines jarr with the 'Pale Blue Eyes' meets '$1000 Wedding' of the song...'We've Been Had' is a more conventional Tweedy song- not far from the early albums of Green on Red...'15 Keys' sounds a little too similar to the preceding track- which may not mean it's bad, just that the sequence is a bit flawed...'High Water' begins with a lovely ambient guitar- very Pat McCarthy- as Farrar delivers another dusky ballad...'No Sense in Lovin' is a very Gram Parsons song- imagine if 'Brass Buttons' had been written after the new wave...The final track is 'Steal the Crumbs'which is a suprisingly upbeat ending a la 'Wendell Gee' and concludes a seminal album that anyone with an interest in rock music should own...Wonder why this was overlooked by the Music Press in this country?- I only heard of it in the wake of 'Being There' & Uncut's sponsorship of alt-country...Along with 'All Shook Down', 'Being There', 'Hollywood Town Hall', 'I See a Darkness', 'Love & Theft' & 'Red Dirt Girl'- this is one of the finest Americana albums of the last decade (or so). Find out for yourself.
