Evolving from a rough-and-tumble alt-country act into a mature and eclectic indie rock ensemble, Wilco have become critical favorites and cult heroes on the back of a stylistically diverse body of songs from founder Jeff Tweedy. Rising from the ashes of the seminal alt-country band Uncle Tupelo, Tweedy assembled Wilco's first lineup from the membership of UT's final edition. Wilco's 1995 debut album, A.M., picked up where Tweedy's work with Uncle Tupelo left off, but their second album, 1996's Being There, marked a dramatic stylistic shift where country and roots rock existed as only small parts of their creative formula, along with expressive pop and freewheeling sonic experimentation. Being There was Wilco's first album with guitar and keyboard player Jay Bennett, who would become Tweedy's closest collaborator on 1999's bent pop compendium Summerteeth and their breakthrough effort, 2001's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
