The Time Machine surveys 2002 this time, the year Eminem told his story in the film and soundtrack to 8 Mile. It was a year of ups and downs for the band Wilco, who ultimately released what many call the best album of their career. We were first introduced to Norah Jones, who released one of the best-selling albums of the year, and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings dropped their debut. It’s all 2002, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday.
