Editorial Reviews

Before March 16-20, 1992 secured Uncle Tupelo as Commanders in Chief of the alt country assault during the early '90s, Still Feel Gone stated emphatically that this foursome are no musical tumbleweeds. Though twangy, lap-steel-heavy ditties like "Watch Me Fall" and "Still Be Around" cradle a country heart, the bulk of this disc is a nod to Uncle Tupelo's garage and punk rock heritage. The songs find their hooks in the twittery vocals of Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy, but beware the rapid fire drumming from Mike Heidorn. When Uncle Tupelo fires up it's tribute to late-Minuteman D. Boon, you'll realize there's more to these country boys than meets the ear. --Nick Heil

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome alt-country, on the aggressive side, December 28, 1999

While I think Anodyne is their best album, Still Feel Gone is also a very, very good album. Of UT's 4 recordings, Still Feel Gone is the most similar to their debut album, the album that started it all, No Depression. However Still Feel Gone more than picks up where No Depression left off, it surpasses it. Still Feel Gone will appeal to those with more rock sensibilities than folk or country, as Ferrar & Tweedy seem to pay homage to the great punk bands of the 80's by getting drunk off whiskey in a midwestern small-town bar and going cow-tipping. Then throwing up.

This review is from: Still Feel Gone (Audio CD)

Still Feel Gone is the only Uncle Tupelo album without any covers (well the bonus material has a cover) and it truly shows the talents of a great pioneer band.

There is less "twang" in this CD compared to their first album "No Depression" but the same basic music formula stands true, country roots with punk and folk influence.

When listening to this CD no song really jumps out at you like Screen Door and No Depression did on the first album, but Still Feel Gone does not have any musical let downs either.

I was glad to see Sauget Wind make the bonus material; it is one of my favorite Farrar-penned songs Uncle Tupelo ever recorded. The acoustic demo of "Looking For a Way Out" gives a great contrast of sound to the plugged in version on the album proper. It also gives the listen an idea of what Uncle Tupelo will do in their third album; the acoustic "March 16-20".

Overall, this disk warrants more than the two stars that Rolling Stone gave it. It stands the test of time along with all the Uncle Tupelo albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars, and Still Not Their Best, February 12, 2001

This review is from: Still Feel Gone (Audio CD)

Yup, I think their debut - No Depression - is more solid front and back. But this is still a classic album in my book.

From the grungy abrasive opening of "Gun" that magically melts into a simply terrific power pop tune, to the lyrical masterpiece that is "Still Be Around" ("When your bible is the bottle/And the hardwood floor is home/Morning comes twice a day/Or not at all...")

The split between Farrar's more traditional bend and Tweedy's poppier style first surfaces here. Although I only realized this in retrospect. But still an amazingly cohesive album that looses just a touch of steam toward the end.

Stylistically, much more in line with No Depression than Anodyne, and by no means a disapointment.
