",Postcard 2", Once known as "Passenger Side", -- the Postcard spinoff list primarily (but not exclusively) about alternative/insurgent country, country/punk and roots country music of interest to Uncle Tupelo (and even Wilco &, Son Volt) fans and just about anyone else.

Buy the records!

If you don't have an independent record store near you, you can buy all four of Uncle Tupelo's CDs right here, via our links to CDnow.com (now a part of Amazon.com, and amazingly still around, at least in fading name). Buying them here is not only convenient and inexpensive, but it also helps defray the costs of producing and maintaining this friggin' enormous web site. So buy 'em if you don't have 'em already, and buy some for friends and loved ones too!

Chord and tab transcriptions

",Down here where we're at

All we do is sit out on the porch

And play our songs, and nothing's wrong.

Sometimes friends come around, they all sing along.",

-- from ",Screen Door",, by Jeff Tweedy We like to do that with our friends, too.

Several folks from Postcard have done a really great job figuring out chords and/or tablatures for some of the songs. I had been plucking them from the list and archiving them at home, but then Steve Gardner had a lightbulb appear over his head and launched The UT Tab Project, in which various members of Postcard worked to figure out every Uncle Tupelo song for this archive. The archive was completed on August 29, 1996, when Dave Shapiro sent in the tab for ",Discarded",. Not a bad piece of work, folks.

We're working on the Wilco and Son Volt songs too, and those'll go on their respective pages as they're completed and compiled.

Please remember that the files presented below are the work of the author/contributor, and only represent an interpretation of the work of Uncle Tupelo. You may only use these files for private study, scholarship or research.

So, for your musical enjoyment, here's the Uncle Tupelo Song Archive:
