Product Description

From Amazon.com

Comprising frontman Jeff Tweedy and other former members of alt.country legend Uncle Tupelo, Wilco was an apple that didn't fall far from the tree. A.M., the band's debut, continues that older group's brand of updated country-rock (emphasis on "rock") and emotionally powerful songwriting. However, many of the best creations here--the driver's-licenseless drunk in "Passenger Side," the bar-band celebration of riverboat gambling on "Casino Queen"--sport an unprecedented sense of humor and are unexpectedly catchy, too. Best of all might be "It's Just That Simple," in which Tweedy turns the mic over to the high and mournful singing of bassist John Stirratt. --David Cantwell

Chronique amazon.fr

Certains considèrent ce premier album de Wilco comme leur meilleur. Le fait est que le groupe vient de naître, bourré d'idées, autour de la forte personnalité de Jeff Tweedy l'une des deux têtes pensantes du légendaire Uncle Tupelo. Du coup la musique de ce A.M. est brute, volontairement mal dégrossie, avec de gros clins d'oeil vers les Rolling Stones que le groupe ne se cache pas de chérir. Une chanson comme "Casino Queen" ne laisse aucun doute, avec son riff à la Keith Richards et ses choeurs tout droit issus de Exile On Main Street. Les compositions de Jeff Tweedy même si elles affichent une volonté de marquer la différence avec la country électrique de son précédent groupe, conservent une influence qui restera durable dans l'album suivant. Mais sa manière de muscler son propos en dosant les guitares avec générosité en fait un album de pur rock'n'roll teigneux et pourtant romantique. À preuve des chansons plus douces comme "Shouldn't Be Ashamed", "Pick Up The Change" ou "It's Just That Simple", où l'émotion prend le pas sur le coup de sang. Tweedy et son groupe y exposent avec des instruments plus acoustiques – mandolines, banjos, pedal steel guitar – des sentiments et surtout des humeurs plus rêveuses et plus pastorales. L'énigmatique titre du CD quant à lui semble renvoyer à une ère où la radio s'écoutait en ondes moyennes. Nostalgique, Wilco ? En partie, sans doute. --José Ruiz

4.0 out of 5 stars From the ashes of Uncle Tupelo...., May 18 2004
By 
S. Finefrock (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A.M. (Audio CD)
came Wilco. Wilco began as a vehicle for Jeff Tweedy, who was basically the understudy to Jay Farrar in UT. AM pretty much continues in the vain of Tweedy's past work, mixing mid-tempo rock with a little twang and a blue collar sensibility.

Some would have you beleive that this is Wilco's finest work, although I beleive that this is just the starting blocks of one the most artisticaly successful bands of this century. AM is a collection of solid, well written songs that would stand proud in any artists catalog. PASSENGER SIDE(in my humble opionion, the one for the ages from this release), BOX FULL OF LETTERS, PICK UP THE CHANGE and CASINO QUEEN remain some of my favorites after numerous spins

Tweedy would find his true voice with the next release, BEING THERE, and then continue to push his boundries in new and exciting ways that may have offended some of those originally drawn to his music. For those who have been along for the ride, it's as exhilerating as it can get, for those who lost the faith along the way, they always have AM as a souvenier.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Wilco album, Mar 19 2004
This review is from: A.M. (Audio CD)
I wish Wilco would go back to making music like this, this album is just wonderful. This is their first and best album as far as I'm concerned. It might take a little while to really grow on you but this album has an inner beauty that is often over looked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Early REM fans take note!, Aug 20 2003
By 
kresnels "kresnels" (Culver City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A.M. (Audio CD)
I like records that let you know they mean business right away - and A.M. definitely does that. From the minute you put it on, it's like you've discovered a favorite record you've had buried for years in the back of your closet - all the tunes are catchy, all the words make a quirky kind of sense, and it's just plain great to listen to.

I love this record, not only because of the infectious quality of the music, but the lyrics are so great you'll be humming them to yourself later, eager to hear them again. Shouldn't Be Ashamed, Box Full of Letters, and I Must Be High are all really great, but my favorite is Passenger Side - a plaintive paean to losing your license and having to be carted around (I've got a court date coming this June/ I'll be driving soon/ Passenger side/ I don't like riding on the passenger side.") The songs are deceptive in their simplicity, played by a band that can really play their instruments well. Jeff Tweedy's voice may take some people a while to get used to, but he's got a great, vulnerable quality and he can really write a great song.

I gave it four stars because Summerteeth is supposed to be their best album, and the last song kind of lets the album taper off. But if you like REM (even as late as Out Of Time) you'll really like Wilco, and A.M. is a great record to get to know your new favorite band.
