When Uncle Tupelo, the band that defined '90s alt-country, split into two camps, Jay Farrar's Son Volt took the relatively arty road while Jeff Tweedy upped the rock & roll grit quotient with Wilco. Wilco's debut album A.M., with its alternative country style, was released in March 1995 and was their only album to feature Brian Henneman (The Bottle Rockets) as lead guitarist. This album is chock full of country goodness, from the rousing opener "I Must Be High" to the reflective closer, "Too Far Apart."
