“I’m a huge, longtime
Uncle Tupelo fan and I even had the honor of playing with them once a long time
ago. My old band, Adam’s House Cat, opened for them on the No Depression tour
at The Antenna Club in Memphis, Tennessee. I remember thinking they were pretty
cool, but I wish I would’ve paid more attention to them in that moment. Since
we were the opening band, it was during my time of just playing the gig and
then getting pretty drunk. I also remember going into the gig with a little bit
of good-humored prejudice because I grew up real close to Tupelo and I was
like, “Who is this band that is not from Mississippi calling themselves Uncle
Tupelo?” At the same time, they truly won me over with their live show because
I really enjoyed their sound and their seemingly endless energy.”

I juni fyldte ‘No Depression’ med
Uncle Tupelo 30 år. Det har magasinet, der dels har taget navn efter
albumtitlen selvfølgelig en længere feature om. Når jeg skriver dels er det fordi,
at bladet også nævner The Carter Family-sangen ’No Depression In Heaven’, og en
tidlig online diskussionsgruppe om alternativ country ved navn The No
Depression Folder, som inspiration til bladnavnet.
