Let's Go (So We Can Get Back)

A poignant and insightful memoir that shines when Tweedy examines his relationships with his parents, his wife, and his children. Wilco was my first favorite band and knowing more about the life and mindset of their lead singer lets me appreciate them in a whole new way.

As a fan of the majority of Wilco's catalog, I definitely wanted to check out frontman Jeff Tweedy's memoir and it does not disappoint. I'm not too aware of Wilco's early days or really much of anything during the Uncle Tupelo era (Jeff's previous band before Wilco) so that was really cool to read how/where Jeff grew up and where he got his inspirations from. Jeff writes in a very conversational way as if he's directly speaking to you, which makes this even more enjoyable. Wilco's catalog is essential in my opinion, so I highly recommend getting familiar with the band's amazing array of albums too if you haven't already (Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, Star Wars... etc etc).
