The title track of Sky Blue Sky, the sixth Wilco studio album, which Nonesuch released in May 2007, is Jeff Tweedy's song from top to bottom: he wrote it, sings it and plays both the acoustic and electric guitars. The name, shared by the album, reaches back to a childhood memory of his, a Memorial Day parade in Belleville, Illinois.
It's also a showcase for the band's new blood. This was the first Wilco studio record with Nels Cline and Pat Sansone, and here Cline plays lap steel while Sansone works a chamberlin, with Mikael Jorgensen on piano, John Stirratt on bass and Glenn Kotche on drums. T.J. Doherty recorded it and Jim Scott mixed it.
