Golden Smog - "I Can't Keep From Talking"

Golden Smog has released four studio albums and one EP since their inception sometime around 1989 in Minneapolis.  I say sometime because this band is basically a loose connection of members from other like-minded bands that come together periodically to play and record albums.
As Wikipedia puts it:
Golden Smog is a loosely connected group of musicians comprised, at various times, of members of Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Wilco, The Jayhawks, Run Westy Run, The Honeydogs and Big Star. Golden Smog's lineup has often changed, but relative constants who appear on all the recordings are guitarists Kraig Johnson (Run Westy Run), Dan Murphy (Soul Asylum) and Gary Louris (The Jayhawks), along with bassist Marc Perlman (The Jayhawks).
The group took their name from a nickname given to Fred Flintstone, which, in turn, was a parody of singer Mel Tormé's nickname (The Velvet Fog).
Wilco's Jeff Tweedy wrote "I Can't Keep From Talking," our song-of-the-weekend for today.  ENJOY!
