In 1999, with the release of their third album Summerteeth, Wilco was on the verge of greatness. They were moving steadily away from the alt-country roots of Uncle Tupelo and closer to the experimental excellence of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but what was really making Wilco a special band was the growing presence of Jay Bennett. Bennett had joined Wilco in 1994, and his abilities on a wide array of instruments were making Wilco into a very special band. Summerteeth has not only him as a strength, but also the continuing improvement of Jeff Tweedy as a songwriter. They weren’t quite there yet (that would be on their next album), but Summerteeth is definitely close to as good as Wilco would get. The sound is crisp and immediate, and the songs are very, very good. A definite step up from the second album, Being There.
“Can’t Stand It” was released as a single, and it fared poorly. But there are a bunch of songs that are big improvements for Tweedy lyrically (he was having marital problems and was reading a lot of American literature, both of which are clear in the songs), including “A Shot In The Arm” and “Via Chicago”. The real highlight, though, is the work of Bennett, whose instrumental prowess gives the band a depth they would otherwise never have. The partnership between Tweedy and Bennett would sour during the recording of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, with Bennett being fired as soon as that album was released (he then release a slew of solo albums before dying in his sleep in 2009). Summerteeth is the album where Wilco really grew up, a huge step from where they had been,, and a great foreshadow of where they were going. Not perfect, but more than worthwhile.
