About this audiobook
The singer, guitarist, and songwriter, best known for his work with Wilco, opens up about his past, his songs, the music, and the people that have inspired him.
Few bands have inspired 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, and 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'll also talk in-depth about his collaborators in Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, and more; and write lovingly about his parents, wife Susie, and sons, Spencer and Sam.
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 for Let's Go (So We Can Get Back)
36 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The author shares a no-holds barred assessment of his life and his place in musical history. His honesty, at times uncomfortable to the ear, is refreshing in a political and social climate filled with blind spots and self-promotion.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have been a Wilco fan from the beginning (and UT before) but always thought Jeff a bit of a jerk, great artist notwithstanding. It turns out he’s a human being. But all these years, all the amazing music and live shows; I have always admired what he has done and how Wilco has continued to thrive. This book is amazing—it’s funny and poignant—and there is a lot of about Jeff’s life I did not know despite my super-fan status and radio insider knowledge. It is a great, conversational read. Of course I got the hardback, kindle, and audio versions. And the new solo album is very nice. Now let’s see a show in 2019 and life will be good! And I will definitely read this again. It is outstanding in the musician bio genre, regardless of my bias.
