A.M.
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 more

- Oh so utterly perfect
I've owned this disc for several years, but only got around to listening to it a week or so ago, and man oh man did I miss out.. I've lived in St Louis for the last decade or so, and thus most of these songs have deeper meaning for me,...

- Loads of fun
I come to Wilco by way of Uncle Tupelo. I'm not interested in Jeff Tweedy's experimental pop-rock; give me New Madrid any day. Not that A.M. is all that country-ish, but the best song, IMO, is the banjo-laden That's Not the Issue (which...

- Solid Album
From start to finish this is a solid fresman effort from Wilco. Clear are the country-esque influences of the band's past incarnation; Uncle Tueplo. The first four songs on the album are fast and fun before mellowing perhaps too much....

- Americana ***1/2
"A.M." was the final piece of the puzzle for me; I now own all of Wilco's albums. This band never ceases to amaze me. I can honestly say that any of the albums could be your favorite. None of the albums are obvious stand-outs, because...

- not yankee hotel foxtrot
i gave this album two stars not so much because it isn't any good, but because it isn't any good for Wilco. My problem is that I started my Wilco facination by listening to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which is probably one of the greatest...
