Together at last

" Jeff Tweedy may not be a virtuoso as a vocalist or a guitarist, but he absolutely knows what makes his songs work, and the intimacy of these recordings allows him to explore the nooks and crannies of the songs without having to make room for anyone else, and the results are charming, emotionally effective, and sometimes quite moving ... If Together at Last is a minor work in Tweedy's catalog, it's a simple but genuine pleasure that may convert a few doubters who haven't been won over by Wilco's eclecticism".

"For many years, his records have been densely rocking affairs; he has mostly performed in this stripped-down format on his irregular solo tours. Those performances are spellbinding, but they aren't always easy to come by. So to finally have a recorded document of his quietest side is a treasure, no matter how necessary (or unnecessary) it might seem. Or maybe that's overthinking it. Maybe Together At Last feels like a worthy experiment because anytime you get a chance to stop and listen to Jeff Tweedy play and sing his songs, you do it".

"The album is the first in a series recorded at his Chicago studio that will highlight his life as a songwriter, and it revises some of Tweedy's best moments with mixed results ... With his wry charm absent, the album ultimately shows only a partial picture of Jeff Tweedy as a solo artist".

"Titlen er vel på et eller andet plan ironisk ... For Jeff Tweedy har sat resten af Wilco uden for døren, og på 'Together at Last' er det kun Tweedy og hans akustiske guitar, der sidder på The Loft i Chicago og spiller sig igennem gamle Wilco-sange og et par sange fra andre projekter ... Et lille unplugged album, hvor nærvær og enkelhed er den altafgørende standard. Mageløse 'Ashes of American Flags' får en ny dimension uden Wilcos kompleksitet, og 'I Am Trying to Break Your Heart' og 'Via Chicago' får snoet guitar-og hjertestrenge godt og grundigt sammen ... Men jeg savner en overordnet idé, som handler om andet og mere end, at småt er smukt".
