From Wikipedia

No Depression, which was released in June 1990, is the first studio album of the American alternative country band Uncle Tupelo. After its formation in the late 1980s, Uncle Tupelo recorded a demo tape titled Not Forever, Just for Now, which received a positive review by the College Media Journal in 1989. The review led to the band signing with what became Rockville Records later that year. The album was recorded with producers Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie at Fort Apache Studios on a budget of US$3,500.
