Episode 23: Wilco's Summerteeth

Published: March 1, 2019, 9:20 a.m.

In the fourth episode of season two, the guys talk about Sad Dad Legends-- Wilco. Headed by frontman, Jeff Tweedy, Summerteeth is their third studio album(not counting a Woody Guthrie tribute of sorts with Billy Bragg). It's the first album where the band’s alt-country tentacles begin reaching towards an expanding psychedelic direction. It’s a mixture of dark lyricism and eclectic instrumentation which was fueled by American Spirits, Diet Coke, and opioids. Its very sad… and it’s very dad. So join us on another hour long adventure as we talk about what Jeff Tweedy describes as the “hyper-sexual nature of Wilco’s music”.
