"The one thing I always hear in a lot of their music is the vulnerability -- he's not afraid to expose who he is, and you definitely sense the fragility of this guy on these records," Kot says.
But Tweedy's songs also "evoke the work of the great songwriters," Kot writes, by virtue of the way they "marry the everyday with the surreal, the opaque with the anthemic, (and) the acerbic with the melodic."
"Love him or hate him," Kot says, "you have to pay respect to the integrity of the work."
Integrity in the music business and success? Could it be a winning formula? Stay tuned...
