Down With Wilco: The Story of an Unexpected Collaboration

Between the chaotic recording of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and the success that followed, Wilco had a meeting of the minds with The Minus 5, a collaborative effort from Scott McCaughey (pronounced McKoy, not McKai, as I say throughout this video) of The Young Fresh Fellows. Joined by R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and The Posies' Ken Stringfellow, this collective came together to create "Down With Wilco," and this is the story behind that 2003 album by The Minus 5. 👉 Subscribe for More Vinyl Videos: https://youtube.com/c/AndyFenstermaker/?sub_confirmation=1 🏆 Become a Member: https://fensepost.substack.com/subscribe WATCH NEXT: ✓ How Peter Buck Found His Sound: https://youtu.be/KGd0rUxDuLE ✓ The Story of Funeral by Arcade Fire: https://youtu.be/HrhaL4Rhou8 ✓ The Story of Float On by Modest Mouse: https://youtu.be/HrhaL4Rhou8 🎥 Poetic Wax Weekly Music History Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLylroYWVYWWXL84MH1T4Qr0wrRzjwlGMR The Minus 5 on Vinyl 🎧 https://amzn.to/3ZC6ABJ Wilco on Vinyl 🎧 https://amzn.to/3BeA4MM Poetic Wax is hosted by Andrew (Andy) Fenstermaker.
