Jeff Tweedy does a particular thing and he does it very well. Nothing on his new record WARM will be unfamiliar to anybody who has enjoyed his work with Wilco and Uncle Tupelo over the last thirty years but much of it will be 'warmly' welcomed.
There's plenty of understated, crafted, melody here, plenty of wry self-depreciating humour in the lyricism. While not an album of my year, because of that familiarity, Tweedy has been here before, in fact he played a considerable part in marking out this punk country territory in the first place, it's still a nice record to have in December as the new releases dry up.
