Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Covers - 43 "Pecan Pie" by Jeff Tweedy
I know this tune from I band I was in back in the late 90's called Elin Tea. The band was named after our friend Kirsten's baby daughter. I think she's like a teenager now. Well, this band was a three-piece acoustic group and we had many tunes, like 50 originals and a number of covers including Grand Funk Railroad's "I'm Your Captain, and jams by U2, The Bad Livers, Pavement and this jam, written by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco for his side project Golden Smog.
I would have to say that this tune had a pretty big influence on me although there was no way of knowing that at the time. First, my music, due to many factors, has gone more in this direction over time and secondly, Golden Smog's second CD "Weird Tales," I grew to love lots and lots. "Pecan Pie was on their first CD, "Tales From The Mainstream." So shout outs to my old Elin Tea bandmates and anyone else who likes this song about chow.
