Kinda sounds like a surprisingly good demo album from a bar band. They utilize having chops in both alt-rock and country, the talent and potential is obvious, the songwriting is very safe but varied and consistent. Never underestimate the power of a well-played steel pedal.

Though barely anything here is indicative of what they'd go on to do later in their careers, in fact sounding much more like what they did as Uncle Tupelo (which is by no means a bad thing) A.M. is still very much a solid alt-country record. One of the prevailing fan theories is the band rushed to get the album out so that it could outdo previous Uncle Tupelo lead singer Jay Farrar's new band, Son Volt, and their debut record. If it was rushed, it certainly doesn't sound like it. It almost sounds effortless, as if they could've made this in their sleep, and the songs flow together very well despite some similarities in the songwriting. It's pretty plain stuff, but it's just so well written that the colors still appear, though maybe duller than they could've been. Whether you see this as Wilco's debut record or Uncle Tupelo's fifth, it doesn't change the overall notion that this is some solidly enjoyable alt-country.

Box of Letters is good, and I Must Be High is decent, but much of this sounds like leftovers from Uncle Tupelo.

This album had some good songs but half of it basically sounded the same. I'm not a big country fan, but I do like Wilco because they put a great alternative spin on the genre. Check out "I Must Be High".
