While the official release isn''t until June 30, Wilco's latest effort is streaming on their website here.
Wilco: The Album is rather low-key, acoustic fare along the lines of Sky Blue Sky, their most recent release, but perhaps is an even more relaxed, soothing work. It certainly is a far cry from the reverb and feedback as seen in Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or, to a lesser extent, in A Ghost in Born. Not quite the best work by Tweedy and company, but pleasing to the ear, nonetheless. Music that is seemingly perfect for a lazy sunday drive in rolling, rural terrain.
The cover, oddly featuring a Bactrian camel, was taken at a well-known German restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
