Sky Blue Sky

Wilco's sixth studio recording has hints of early-seventies Southern California folk / rock sweetness in the harmonies. 'Sky Blue Sky' is filled with brash guitar solos that take songs like "You Are My Face" and "Shake It Off" in unexpected directions.

Featuring the band that was assembled after the release of the two-time Grammy Award-winning 'A Ghost is Born', this is the first studio album from a lineup that has received overwhelmingly positive critical and popular acclaim for their live shows (as documented on the 2005 double-disc set, 'Kicking Television: Live in Chicago').

" 'Sky Blue Sky' is an astounding demonstration of Wilco's ability to move between soulful acoustic folk, jazzy blues, country skank and pumping rock. 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.

"Jeff Tweedy's excellent band return with the warm fuzz of 'Sky Blue Sky'. Great songs, amazing playing.'
- Uncut

"Tweedy and his bandmates have never sounded so at ease with themselves as they do on their sixth album, from the finger-clicking staccato of Shake It Off to the heady, Dylan-esque swirl of "Hate It Here" and the lugubrious country twang of "Leave Me (Like You Found Me)".
