Book Reviews of Wilco: Learning How to Die
Book Review: A Good Read for the Fans
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed Greg Kot's book about Wilco. I've read many of Kot's articles in the Chicago paper about the band, and I was looking forward to reading this book as soon as I heard about it. As a big fan of Wilco, I found this to be an interesting read with a lot of insight into the early days of the band, and the dying days of Uncle Tupelo (Jeff's seminal pre-Wilco band). At times, the book reads a lot like the newspaper articles that Kot wrote about the band for years, but that's not a bad thing. Kot is a rock journalist, so it shouldn't really surprise anyone that his book comes across that way. He is essentially writing a journal of the history of this band, from their early pre-Wilco days all the way up through the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot debacle...and beyond. I was especially interested in the things Jay Farrar and Jay Bennett had to say (what's the deal with Jeff's problems with guys named Jay anyway?). I highly recommend this book for fans of the band, you won't be disappointed.
