"Released in October 1993, ANODYNE was the fourth and final album by alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo. Cut live in the studio in Austin, Texas, the record moves from the driving energy of 'Chickamauga' and "The Long Cut" into 'Anodyne' and 'Acuff-Rose,' where fiddle and pedal steel add a flash of Cosmic American color. The album ended UT's short-but-remarkable run, with the breakup soon giving rise to two new bands: Wilco and Son Volt. In the new liner notes, music journalist Mark Deming reflects on the album's lasting weight: 'Over those two weeks in Austin, Texas, recording ANODYNE, Uncle Tupelo created both a grand finale and a new beginning, and the music and the emotions ring just as clear more than three decades on'. - 2026
