No, it's not about The Whole Love, which I continue to find awesome. It's this: This morning, Jeff Tweedy's solo acoustic album Sunken Treasure came up on my iTunes shuffle, and it confirmed something I've subconsciously thought for years now: Tweedy's live acoustic guitar tone SUCKS. He's got such a great array of guitars, and he sticks some shit pickup into them-- or maybe it's the amp-- but it's terrible. So obnoxiously treble-y with no natural decay. It makes his guitars sound so cheap. Hard to believe a tone freak like Nels Cline would let him get away with that.
Listen for yourself:
It's not like I feel "entitled" to a better acoustic tone from Tweedy, but I feel inspired to articulate something that's bugged/disappointed me for several years now.
