“Impossible Germany” by Wilco

"Impossible Germany" comes off Wilco's 2007 album Sky Blue Sky, and it's the sound of a band that has learned to listen to itself. Jeff Tweedy wrote the words and sings them, but all six members share the music credit, and it shows: Tweedy, Nels Cline and Pat Sansone weave three electric guitars around each other, Mikael Jorgensen fills in on piano and Hammond organ, John Stirratt's bass keeps it grounded and Glenn Kotche handles drums and percussion with a light touch.

T.J. Doherty recorded it and Jim Scott mixed it, keeping it warm and unhurried, so the guitars have all the room they need to stretch out and wind their way home.
