Wilco – Wilco (The Album)
July 3rd, 2009 Posted in Album reviews
Jeff Tweedy has suggested that this new album’s humorous title is simply an indication that this is the most Wilco-sounding Wilco album yet, and I must agree – it’s all about balance with this collection of songs, brilliantly written and adorned with expert musicianship, and swaying confidently and seamlessly between the band’s experimental tendencies and their rock and country roots, alligning contrasting tracks like the noisy, atmospheric “Bull Black Nova”, the tender Feist duet “You and I”, and the catchy “Wilco (The Song)” into a singular and unique sound that is quite simply…Wilco.
