Description:
"It`s been a while since the last offering from Jeff Tweedy and Co, but three years of slavering from fans is about to be rewarded with this seventh studio album. And, boy, was it worth the wait. Though Wilco are known as purveyors of alt country rock, Sky Blue Sky is an astounding demonstration of their ability to move between soulful acoustic folk, jazzy blues, country skank and pumping rock. Tweedy has the vocal range of three people, from country lilt to blues ache to folk sweetness - all this often in the space of one song. And what songs they are...Simple and soothing, yet rich and rewarding, this is an album you unknowingly yearn for, like a cool hand on a hot forehead. A great album from a band in their prime. " -- guardian.co.uk (Nonesuch) The deluxe package featuring the album on cd and 48 minute film on dvd. The film captures the band discussing and performing songs from Sky Blue Sky in Chicago. Directed by Christoph Green and Fugazis Brendan Canty, the filmmakers behind Sunken Treasure and the documentary series Burn to Shine. The DVD is Region 1.
