"I'm Always in Love" comes from Summerteeth, Wilco's third album, released on Reprise in 1999. Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett share the writing credit, and that partnership is the story of the record: the two wrote most of it in the studio, rather than working songs up live as a full band the way Wilco used to.
Bennett is all over the track, on piano, keyboards, bass and drums, sharing the drum credit with Ken Coomer and the piano and backing vocals with John Stirratt, while Tweedy sings lead and plays baritone guitar. Jim Scott mixed it. The album around it was stacked high with Pro Tools overdubs, its words shaped by 20th-century literature and by Tweedy's troubled marriage, and critics gave it a warm reception.
