Uncle Tupelo, the title cut from No Depression. This is actually a cover of a Carter Family song, but the Uncle Tupelo album became so iconic for a generation that it became the center of the "alt-country" genre. In fact, the term, "no depression," became the informal name of the alt-country genre, and a music magazine took the title, to cover the genre. Eventually, the name, "Americana," took over, but for various reasons having to do with some annoying, little pop star, perhaps "no depression" will come back to reclaim the genre for serious musicians.
