The impact of Uncle Tupelo's 1990 debut created numerous alt-country acts in its wake. Old 97's rollicking, fed-up “Niteclub” captures the band's world-weary rock ‘n' roll, and Futurebirds' “Rodeo” puts a silvery touch on their shuffling Americana. On Lucero's “Nights Like These”, Ben Nichols' lonesome howl is reminiscent of Jay Farrar's gravelly, torn-and-frayed vocals.
