"Just as classic country tells of lovin', cheatin' and drinkin' - real life in everyday language - so does [frontman Jeff] Tweedy's small-town worldview have an Everyman honesty. There hasn't been a more real breakup song than 'Box Full of Letters,' and 'Passenger Side' describes another kind of loss - that of a DWI license suspension. Tweedy and crew have also absorbed riffs from their forefathers, and they spit them back: a touch of 'Honky Tonk Women' here ('Casino Queen'), a dash of
Tonight's the Night there. Present throughout, of course, are Parsons and his heroes George Jones and Merle Haggard.
Wilco's no-frills recipe for heartfelt C&W rock is most satisfying, just as Tweedy spells it out in 'Blue Eyed Soul': 'Can you keep it simple/Can you let the snare crack/Can you let it move without holding back.' Wilco have done that and more." - Rolling Stone
