Jay Bennett, ex-member of band Wilco, dies at 45

Jay Bennett, a singer and songwriter who was a former member of the rock band Wilco, died on Sunday at home in Urbana, Ill. He was 45.

The cause is still unknown. Representatives of his management company, Undertow Music Collective, said he died in his sleep. Edward Burch, a friend and collaborator, told The Chicago Sun-Times that an autopsy was being done. No information about survivors was available.

Last month Mr. Bennett complained on his MySpace page about severe pains in his hip. He needed hip-replacement surgery, he said, but did not have proper health insurance.

A burly, dreadlocked figure with a cracking, plaintive rasp, Mr. Bennett played in the Replacements-influenced power-pop band Titanic Love Affair during the 1990s and released four solo albums. But he is best known for his role in Wilco, the Chicago band that expanded the earthy, folk-influenced sound of the alt-country genre with more abstract, experimental rock.

Mr. Bennett joined Wilco in 1994, shortly after the recording of the band's first album, "A.M.," which was released the next year. Beginning with "Being There" in 1996, he played keyboards, guitar and various other instruments, and gradually his role grew. With "Summerteeth" in 1999 and "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," released in 2002, Mr. Bennett became a key part of the band's song writing, often as a darker foil to the more fragile style of the lead singer, Jeff Tweedy. A perfectionist in the studio, Mr. Bennett took an active hand in the recording process.

He also played on "Mermaid Avenue," the band's Grammy-nominated 1998 project with Billy Bragg, which set unpublished lyrics by Woody Guthrie to music, as well as on its sequel, "Mermaid Avenue II," in 2000.

But as documented in "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart," a 2002 film about the recording of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" and the band's extended struggle with its record company, Mr. Bennett and Tweedy frequently clashed in the studio, as Mr. Bennett bristled over the band's increasingly noisy direction.

"I was starting to feel more and more limited, and Jeff recognized that," Bennett told Chicago Tribune critic Greg Kot in 2002. "It's like breaking up with a girlfriend. At first it really hurts, but you realize once your ego heals that it was the right thing to do. We're both better off that it happened."

Tweedy fired Mr. Bennett from Wilco shortly before the release of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," which became the band's commercial breakthrough. Relations between the two men remained chilly. This month Mr. Bennett sued for breach of contract, contending that he was owed royalties from his work on Wilco albums as well as money from the film. The suit has not been settled, a Wilco spokeswoman said.

After his split with Wilco, Bennett released four albums solo and with Burch has done production work for other artists, including a 2005 album by Blues Traveler.

More Death In the Afternoon:

Tacoma, Washington -- His guitar playing was unique. Bob Bogle is the one who came up with the distinctive guitar sound of The Ventures on songs like "Walk, Don't Run" and the theme to "Hawaii Five-O." Both were top 10 hits in the 60s when the band sold millions of albums.

Bogle first realized how big the band had gotten when they traveled to Japan in 1964. He told AP Radio in 1996 "There was about 10,000 people at the airport." He thought they were there to greet someone else until he saw the sign "Welcome, the Ventures." Bogle has now died. He was 75.

I cannot begin to count all the covers of "Walk, don't Run" I've heard over the years....
