No Depression

Last night I listened to the No Depression album from Uncle Tupelo. I love the album and have used many of the songs on various mixes I had not listened to the album straight through for many years. It was a real treat that Becky and I both enjoyed. It was a very innovative and influential album at the time it was released.

No Depression: The Journal of Roots Music
was one of the many magazines I have subscribed to over the last fifty some years or so. If I recall right we had it coming to our home in the late 1990's until well into the 2000's. I dropped it for another magazine at some point. No Depression began publication in 1995 and is sill published today both in print and online. The magazine was named after the song No Depression by the Carter Family and the album of the same name released in 1990 by Uncle Tupelo. I did enjoy reading this magazine very much and after I was no longer getting in at home I did look at it in the library and often took it with me to lunch.

I recently realized that there is a Spotify playlist uploaded every month by the No Depression staff that contains the newly released songs for the month that are from featured artists and albums in the magazine. I'm listening to the July playlist right now and have favorited the playlist on my Spotify account so that it will always show up for me each month.

I've enjoyed all of the Uncle Tupelo albums and when they split up into Son Volt and Wilco I got all of their albums too.
