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 29, 1999

By	Jason Kent (Anchorage, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy This CD!, June 25, 1999

By A Customer

What a shame that this group never got their due while they were together. The first song "Gun" is the closest to pop that they ever got. It should have been a hit single. I used to hate country music but after hearing UT I realize what I really hated was and is the glossy gutless country music of today. This cd has some country elements on it without the gloss and it rocks like hell also. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Pull out the credit card and buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the five greatest albums I have ever heard, June 29, 1998

By A Customer

Simply put, this album is a masterpiece. The greatest album from one of the greatest bands of their day, Uncle Tupelo fulfilled the promise of their debut record with "Still Feel Gone." As the recognized inventors of so-called "alternative country," Uncle Tupelo's unique blend of anger and sorrow sung to the strains punk-inspired riffs within the framework of a country song is unmistakable genius. This album will not disappoint. From the musical metaphor that is "Gun" to the pathos of "Fall Down Easy" to the spot-on "True to Life," "Still Feel Gone" is one of the best albums I have ever heard in my life.
