A mellow, post thanksgiving tune from Wilco. Much media attention for their fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002), and the controversy surrounding it. After the recording sessions were complete, Reprise Records rejected the album and dismissed Wilco from the label. As part of a buy-out deal, Reprise gave Wilco the rights to the album for free. After streaming Foxtrot on its website, Wilco sold the album to Nonesuch Records in 2002. Both record labels are subsidiaries of Warner Music Group, leading one critic to say that the album showed “how screwed up the music business is in the early twenty-first century.” Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Wilco’s most successful release to date, selling over 590,000 copies

My favorite of theirs was the one with Billy Bragg, covering Woody Guthrie; “Mermaid Avenue”. And I LOVED Uncle Tupelo!

Wasn’t feeling this at all. Have to admit to fast forwarding to see if there were any good riffs. Nope, sorry to say there were not. Here is my blue sky song. Not tranquil at all(you are warned) and always makes me feel like getting up and doing something.

Love Wilco. I have been fortunate enough to see them live twice. Always a good show.
