"Chickamauga" comes from Anodyne, the 1993 album that turned out to be Uncle Tupelo's fourth and last, cut in Austin, Texas, not long after the band signed to Sire. The lineup had shifted going in: original drummer Mike Heidorn was gone, and John Stirratt on bass, Ken Coomer on drums and multi-instrumentalist Max Johnston were in. Stirratt and Coomer hold down the bottom here, Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy share the writing credit, the guitars and the vocals, and Brian Paulson produced, engineered and mixed.
It caught the band in its final stretch. After two tours behind Anodyne, the tension between Farrar and Tweedy finished Uncle Tupelo off.
