R.I.P Jay Bennett

Earlier this week former multi-insturmentalist of the band Wilco passed away. Jay was a huge contributor to many Wilco albums including Being There, Summerteeth, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, as well as their Mermaid Avenue collaborations with Billy Bragg. His presence in the band was greatly noticed and deeply appreciated by fans. A perfectionist and a true lost soul Jay will be missed. The following is a video of Jay and Jeff Tweedy performing a raw version of "Cars cant escape" The video shows the wonderful dynamic that these two very talented musicians shared and also reflects the mood of the moment. R.I.P Jay.
