Before March 16-20, 1992 secured Uncle Tupelo's place as Commanders in Chief of the alt-country assault during the early '90s, Still Feel Gone stated emphatically that they were 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 of Mike Heidorn. When Uncle Tupelo fires up its tribute to late Minuteman D. Boon, you'll realize there's more to these country boys than meets the ear. This 2003 expanded and remastered version includes three unreleased demos, the "Sauget Wind" single, and their rare cover of the Soft Boys' "I Wanna Destoy You." --Nick Heil

5.0 out of 5 stars Sophmore Effort does not disappoint, April 17, 2003

By	B. Dreiling "bd8802" (Lawrence, KS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 Folk.Punk.Traditional Country Heaven, April 15, 2003

By	D. S. OWEN (WORTHINGTON, OHIO United States) - See all my reviews

This Uncle Tupelo's re-released re-master of Still Feel Gone is monumental and essential for anyone who wants valid alternitive country tunes in their CD collection. The infusion of acoustic country riffs, that can suddenly be switched over to electric overdrive sonic bliss at any moment during a song, is just a small part of the crafty down home folk, punk, country rock and roll tunes that Still Feel Gone delivers. Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar and company are true American music Heroes, and are the centered example of the heartbeat of alt.country rock and roll reality. The carriers of the original Alt.Country flag that will stand the traditional test of time. They are true classics. Bottled Fermented Rock? THAT is an understatment...
d.s. owen.

5.0 out of 5 stars still feel gone, indeed..., December 9, 2004

By	S. C Threndyle "stevet" (kelowna bc) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

a month or so ago, a buddy burned me a copy of some UT bootleg from the mid 90s (it's unofficially called 'Last Call') and though i had most of the songs, it came across as a revelation. the only missing cd i had was 'still feel gone' (i got into the band just as they were breaking up), and now i have it. the buddy who burned me the live cd said 'y'know, that band never should have broken up. those two guys brought out the best in each other, and while there are some good wilco and son volt songs, those first three albums were the high water mark.' alas, after listening to this, and going into the back catalogue to hear anodyne and march 17-21, 1992, i sadly must agree. these guys were BEYOND great; the best thing that american music produced since Gram's Flying Burrito Brothers... what fine, fine music...
