Friday night Dance Party - Uncle Tupelo
This is the song 'No Depression' performed by Uncle Tupelo, founding fathers of the alt-country movement in the US. A great old song, it named a movement and a magazine about music that just isn't quite a radio programmer's dream but lord knows, that just gives it more cred in my book.
I'm goin where there's no depression
To a better land that's free from care
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble
My home's in heaven, I'm going there.
Uncle Tupelo featured both Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy before they split up; Farrar went on to form Son Volt, Tweedy formed Wilco.
