About this product
Product Information
The singer, guitarist, and songwriter--best known for his work with Wilco--opens up about his past, his songs, the music, and the people who have inspired him in this personal memoir. This ideal addition to your Wilco collection also makes a perfect gift for music lovers. *A New York Times Bestseller* *A Rolling Stone Best Music Books of 2018 selection* *A Pitchfork Pick: Best Music Books of 2018 * Few bands have encouraged as much devotion as the Chicago rock band Wilco, and it's thanks, in large part, to the band's singer, songwriter, and guiding light: Jeff Tweedy. But while his songs and music have been endlessly discussed and analyzed, Jeff has rarely talked so directly about himself, his life, or his artistic process. Until now. In his long-awaited memoir, Jeff will tell stories about his childhood in Belleville, Illinois; the St. Louis record store, rock clubs, and live-music circuit that sparked his songwriting and performing career; and the Chicago scene that brought it all together. He also talks in-depth about his collaborators in Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, and more; and writes lovingly about his parents; wife, Susie; and sons, Spencer and Sammy. Honest, funny, and disarming, Tweedy's memoir will bring readers inside both his life and his musical process, illuminating his singular genius and sharing his story, voice, and perspective for the first time.

Reviews
"Wildly entertaining... Breathtaking...Unforgettable...Tweedy''s music has never shied away from darkness, but he''s also never been afraid to celebrate joy. The same is true with this remarkable memoir--it''s a wonderful book, alternately sorrowful and triumphant, and it''s a gift not just to his fans, but to anyone who cares about American rock music." -- NPR.org " Let''s Go is especially enlightening, a rock''n''roll book that quietly dismantles what we expect from rock''n''roll books." -- Pitchfork "Illuminating...a compelling portrait of an artist whose everyman nature proves to be anything but a front." --AV Club "[Tweedy] succeeds in entertaining and oddly revealing ways, moving with shape-shifting ease from wry self-effacement to what he calls Midwestern sarcasm to naked confession." -- Chicago Tribune "Laced with funny anecdotes... Readers might sometimes wonder at Tweedy''s lyrics, but in his playing, singing and writing, whether in solo efforts, in collaboration with Wilco or in his producing other artists, we know we have something to treasure." -- Associated Press "In its willingness to probe the most vulnerable periods in his past, though, [ Let''s Go (So We Can Get Back) ] is of a piece with Tweedy''s revered songwriting." --Vanity Fair " Let''s Go (So We Can Get Back) reads more like a collection of humorously confessional essays by David Sedaris than a conventional rock memoir." -- Uproxx "Engaging and self-questioning." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "The Wilco front man has just written one of the best and most revealing memoirs in years... Let''s Go is a warts-and-all addiction memoir, but luckily it is much more than that, too. It''s also a genuinely moving ode to his wife and two sons (one of whom, Spencer, is the drummer in his side project Tweedy), and an impassioned and often quite funny firsthand account of a music geek''s coming of age." -- The Ringer "Though Tweedy''s lyrics tend to be oblique, his new memoir is anything but." --Men''s Journal "We already knew Jeff Tweedy could write...We didn''t know Tweedy could write an entire book , and do it really well. But with the arrival of his new memoir, Let''s Go (So We Can Get Back) , out last week, it''s clear Tweedy is just as adept at writing nonfiction as he is songs. Let''s Go is a dry-witted examination of Tweedy''s personal life and career so enjoyable even the most casual of fans will be hooked." -- Paste "By turns self-deprecating, sincere, hilarious, and harrowing." -- The Boston Globe "A funny and candid addition to the rock-memoir genre". -- Newsweek "Funny and frank." --Entertainment Weekly "Engaging and self-questioning." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "A memoir every bit as openhearted and captivating as [Tweedy''s] best songwriting...Even the most difficult events in this page-turner are edged with humor and the hindsight of someone looking back from a better place. Though stories of contemporary musicians occupy a crowded field, this one''s a cut above the rest. Tweedy proves himself delightful company, and, as with his music, readers will hear this resonating long after they''ve finished." --Library Journal (starred review) "Tweedy writes movingly about his parents, his wife and children, and his desire to find an artistic home for his band. Thoughtful, earnest reflections on family, creative integrity, and a life in music." -- Kirkus "Tweedy will delight fans by sharing such tidbits as his favorite moment in the Wilco documentary and how a Noah''s Ark analogy powered the Grammy-winning A Ghost Is Born album. Tweedy tells a wonderfully unassuming story of a music-filled life. " --Publishers Weekly
