Overview

*A New York Times Bestseller*
*A Rolling Stone Best Music Books of 2018 selection*
*A Pitchfork Pick: Best Music Books of 2018*

The singer, guitarist, and songwriter--best known for his work with Wilco--opens up about his past, his songs, the music, and the people who have inspired him.

Few bands have encouraged as much devotion as the Chicago rock band Wilco, and it's thanks, in large part, to the band's singer, songwriter, and guiding light: Jeff Tweedy. But while his songs and music have been endlessly discussed and analyzed, Jeff has rarely talked so directly about himself, his life, or his artistic process.

Until now. In his long-awaited memoir, Jeff will tell stories about his childhood in Belleville, Illinois; the St. Louis record store, rock clubs, and live-music circuit that sparked his songwriting and performing career; and the Chicago scene that brought it all together. He also talks in-depth about his collaborators in Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, and more; and writes lovingly about his parents; wife, Susie; and sons, Spencer and Sammy.

Honest, funny, and disarming, Tweedy's memoir will bring readers inside both his life and his musical process, illuminating his singular genius and sharing his story, voice, and perspective for the first time.

  • Jeff Tweedy’s hilarious and serious account of his life and work in the music industry

    Meagan P. - 5 years 10 months ago

    This book is fantastic! I have loved Wilco for years but didn’t know much about the history of the band or Jeff’s life till I read this. His humor is on point throughout the entire book and makes you feel like your just having a conversation with him most of the time. This is definitely a new favorite book to add to my collection. If you are a Wilco fan or just a music fan in general you would love this. It’s filled with cool music history (and even has a companion playlist on Spotify) plus countless stories of a life in the music business. #SummerReading
