He even enlisted Uncle Tupelo visitor guitarist Brian Henneman of the Bottle Rockets, NFT who performed on lots of the tracks for Wilco's debut album, A.M..


The band was tempted to keep the Uncle Tupelo name, however ultimately determined to rename the band. A demo tape from these recordings was sent to executives at Reprise Records, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, and the label signed Tweedy to a contract. Although Tweedy acknowledged that he needed a more collaborative mission than Uncle Tupelo, solely his name appeared on the Reprise contract. Tweedy requested songwriting submissions from other members, however just one submission-John Stirratt's "It's Just That simple"-appeared on A.M..

The whole No Depression factor was humorous to us because people seemed to forget that Jeff was a bigger punk-rock fan than a rustic fan. It led to things like us all switching devices on "Misunderstood," where I'm enjoying guitar.


Wilco also recorded quite a lot of songs in the style of A.M. Wilco named the album Being There after a Peter Sellers movie of the same title. The band went by some personnel changes through the recording classes. Unlike the A.M. recording periods, the band had no desire to supply a hit music from their second effort. The recording sessions produced nineteen songs, too many for a single album launch.
