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.

Reviews
As a surgeon who wanted to do music and plays daily, for me Jeff captures the magic of life, the wonderful and other parts of family, and why we are here without being sappy, morose, or stupid - like his albums. And you will be amazed by the stories of everyone from Mavis Staples, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and many others. One of the best books I’ve ever read. Music is life and life is music.

It’s a must for any Wilco fan and gives good background on the why’s of Tweedy’s thought processes in writing songs and in life. Loved it.

I truly enjoyed reading this book and felt like the author was speaking directly to me. I found myself laughing out loud at times. I would definitely recommend, especially to anyone who grew up in the 70’s-80’s.
