Wilco (The Album) by Wilco
Wilco (The Album) is an album by Wilco, released in 2009. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 28 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “You and I”, on 14 lists with a best position of #8.
Wilco (The Album), the Chicago band's seventh record, came out on Nonesuch on June 30, 2009, and they streamed it on their website before it reached the shops, a move they'd first made back in the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot saga. Jeff Tweedy produced, leading the lineup that had held steady since 2004: John Stirratt on bass, Nels Cline on guitar, multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone, Mikael Jorgensen on keyboards and Glenn Kotche on drums.
After years of experiments, this one sounds like a band comfortable in its own skin, swinging easily between alt-country warmth, classic pop and flashes of Cline's guitar fire. "Wilco (The Song)" is a cheeky bit of self-reference, and "You and I", "I'll Fight" and "One Wing" round out a sturdy, generous set. It earned a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album.
