Last month, Cameron Winter was supposed to play Wilco's Sky Blue Sky Festival, but the rising rocker dropped off due to scheduling conflicts. Even after Winter and Tweedy got hot dogs together in Chicago last year, we are left wondering: What does Jeff Tweedy think of the Geese frontman? And now we have answers.
For Valentine's Day over the weekend, Tweedy sent out a newsletter featuring a stripped-down cover of the Heavy Metal serenade "Love Takes Miles" dedicated to his wife. About it, he said:
I picked this song, "Love Takes Miles" by Cameron Winter, for Susie. It seems very true to me about how love kind of actually works. I think you can feel the immediate feeling of love over and over and over again. But the real love takes a lot of miles, a lot of time. That's the kind of love that makes ground harder under your feet and colors stronger. It's just not the same thing as puppy love.
It's a poignant song for such a young person to put out into the world. I hope you check out the rest of Cameron’s songs, and Geese. A lot of people have opinions about them. I'll just say what Susie said when she saw Geese on Saturday Night Live, that she would have loved to have booked them at Lounge Ax. They totally would have fit in at Lounge Ax.
Listen here.
