In 2002 Wilco released the widely popular album “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”. The album received excellent reviews including a perfect 10.0 from http://pitchforkmedia.com.
The album itself has a complex legend: Initally rejected by Wilco’s record company, the band bought the masters from the label and distributed the songs freely on the Internet. Public and press loved the songs, and the album, in the band’s preferred form, was finally released by a subsidiary of their original record company.
Thematically, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” is at times dark, at times light, varying from complex chord changes to funky three-chord anthem rock. Among its most haunting tunes is “Ashes of American Flags,” which has since become widely referenced as one of the first “post-September 11th” songs with its pointed yet fragile patriotism despite the fact that the recordings were finished in July 2001.
Wilco’s follow up in 2004 “A Ghost Is Born” won grammy awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Recording Package.
Their first live album, “Kicking Television” was released in 2005 to great critical acclaim, and features their newest member, guitarist Nels Cline.

I keep hearing this song on the local radio station called "Glad It's Over" - does anyone know where this is available? I read it was pulled from their last album?

He has reminded me of Jackson Browne before, but more lyrically than vocally.
