Although not nearly as good a Wilco, Son Volt is a pretty good band that resulted from the Uncle Tupelo break up - especially if you like the alt-country sound.

Seconded. Son Volt's first album "Trace" is their best, imo, and is definitely worth acquiring. From wiki - "It received extremely favorable reviews. According to All Music Guide, 'Throughout Son Volt's debut, Trace, the group reworks classic honky tonk and rock & roll, adding a desperate, determined edge to their performances. Even when they rock out, there is a palpable sense of melancholy to Farrar's voice, which lends a poignancy to the music.'"
