Big Star's Jody Stephens has planned another tribute concert to the power-pop outfit's 'Third/Sister Lovers,' and Jeff Tweedy, Mike Mills and more will make appearances.
Whether they created groundbreaking new sounds or were pioneers in the digital era, these are the artists most responsible for the state of alternative music now.
The stars aligned at this past weekend's kickoff of the annual Todos Santos Music Festival in Mexico for a few high-powered covers in honor of the late legend.
For their second album, Jeff Tweedy and Wilco moved further from their roots in Uncle Tupelo and released a 19-song collection as eclectic as it was ambitious.
