S6E265 - Wilco 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' with Steve Carroll

<p><strong>Wilco</strong>'s fourth studio album, the quirky-yet-beloved '<strong>Yankee Hotel Foxtrot</strong>', is widely considered to be the band's masterpiece. So of course Rob dismissed it as overhyped alt-rock critic-bait for 20 years. Returning guest <strong>Steve Carroll</strong> patiently unwraps the storied tropes and mythical symbols of <strong>Jeff Tweedy</strong> and co., revealing a pretty fantastic rock record underneath.</p> <p>Songs featured in this episode: <em>Jesus, etc. (Live at Sydney Opera House, 2013), Via Chicago</em> - Wilco; <em>After The Gold Rush</em> - Neil Young; <em>Drown</em> - Son Volt; <em>Forget The Flowers</em> - Wilco; <em>Black Horse</em> - Gastr Del Sol; <em>I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, Kamera</em> - Wilco; <em>Isi</em> - NEU!; <em>Radio Cure, War On War, Jesus, etc., Ashes Of American Flags, Heavy Metal Drummer</em> - Wilco; <em>American Girl</em> - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers; <em>Strutter</em> - Kiss; <em>I'm The Man Who Loves You</em> - Wilco; <em>Apeman</em> - The Kinks; <em>Pot Kettle Black</em> - Wilco; <em>In Between Days</em> - The Cure; <em>Poor Places, Reservations</em> - Wilco; <em>Phonetic Alphabet NATO</em> - The Conet Archive; <em>I Am Trying To Break Your Heart</em> - JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound</p>
