Jeff Tweedy Sings “Pecan Pie” from Bed for Charity

Pecan Pie

Wilco leader (and Uncle Tupelo legend) Jeff Tweedy recently performed the song “Pecan Pie” in a video for Bedstock, a music benefit sponsored by MyMusicRx for the Children’s Cancer Association. Bedstock features artists making videos of performances from bed in solidarity with ill children and teens. The event started in 2014.

“Pecan Pie” first appeared on the album Down By The Old Mainstream (1995) by Golden Smog.  The band was a 1990s alt-country supergroup that included Tweedy.

Tweedy performs a solo acoustic version of “Pecan Pie” in the video for Bedstock. Check out what is maybe the best love song that says so much about pies.

And a piece of pecan pie,
And you that’s all I want;
Just a piece of pecan pie,
And all I want is you.

Tweedy will be releasing his memoir, Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc., on November 13, 2018. Not long after that, he is releasing a solo album, Warm, on November 30, 2018.
