Uncle Tupelo, the seminal '90s band from Belleville Illinois, is often hailed as the genesis of alt-country. While high school friends Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedyand Mike Heidorn may shirk that credit, their mutual quest to blend punk rockroots with traditional folk classic countrymelodies had a profound effect on rootsmusic. Formed in 1987, Uncle Tupelo released four full-length albums before disbanding in 1994. Tweedy formed the band Wilco, while Farrar formed Son Voltas well as performing solo. now, it's free and you will discover so much great music :) Upload Your MusicFor ArtistsFor LabelsWidgetsDownload Last.fmImage ChartsPlugins & ExtrasData FeedsBlog Badges & LogoTop ChartsWeekly Top ArtistsWeekly Top TracksOverall Tag ChartsFree DownloadsForumsWeb Site SupportLast.fm Client SupportFeedback and IdeasAbout UsContactAdvertiseTeamModeratorsCareersHelpFAQSupportWhat’s NewPrivacySubscribeRecent Updates.

Chickamauga Lyrics
Uncle Tupelo
he had a black eye
he was proud of
like some of his friends
it made him feel somewhere outside
of everything and everywhere he'd been
like his brothers
he emptied himself
and played it safe
like their father
he wanted to remember
but he almost always
forgot what he was gonna say
black eye
black eye
when he realized
that this one was here to stay
he took down
all the mirrors in the hallway
and thought only of his younger face
black eye
black eye
