Uncle Tupelo discography

This is a comprehensive discography for Uncle Tupelo, an alternative country band from Belleville, Illinois. Uncle Tupelo was formed in 1987 by Jay Farrar (guitar and vocals), Jeff Tweedy (bass guitar and vocals), and Mike Heidorn (drums). The band released its first three albums though independent label Rockville Records. After Rockville refused to pay Uncle Tupelo any royalties for their album sales, the group left the label and signed with Sire Records in 1992. Heidorn left the band at this point, and was eventually replaced by Ken Coomer. Before recording their final album "Anodyne" the band expanded their lineup to a five-piece with the addition of John Stirratt and Max Johnston.

Uncle Tupelo broke up in 1994; soon afterward, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn and the remaining members formed Wilco. In 2003, the band's Rockville recordings were re-released through Legacy Records; "Anodyne" was also re-released that year through Rhino Records. Aside from their four studio albums, Uncle Tupelo also released six singles and recorded songs for several compilations and soundtracks. A retrospective compilation, "", was released in 2002. Today, all Rockville recordings are out of print, while the major label releases other than the promotional items remain in print.

Uncle Tupelo also recorded a one-hour radio special that was released by Legacy Records in 2003. Legacy only distributed the CD, entitled "The Long Cut: A One Hour Radio Special", to non-commercial radio stations as a way to promote the re-issues of the band's studio albums. The special is hosted by Lauren Frey and features interviews by Farrar, Tweedy, and Heidorn.
