Wilco is an American alternative rock band formed in 1994 and based in Chicago, Illinois. Led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Jeff Tweedy, the sextet's current lineup solidified in 2004 with the addition of guitarist Nels Cline and guitarist/keyboardist Patrick Sansone. The band's unique blend of classic roots rock incorporates elements of folk, pop, and experimentalism.

With a catalog that includes critically acclaimed albums such as Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (named one of the greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone) and Grammy award-winning A Ghost is Born, Wilco has established themselves as one of America's best rock bands. Their collaboration with British folk singer Billy Bragg on the Mermaid Avenue series showcases their ability to set original music to iconic song lyrics by Woody Guthrie.

Known for their tight musicianship and deep connection to their music, Wilco has been praised by NPR as "the best rock band in America" and hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "an amazing machine." With a sound that spans genres and pushes boundaries, Wilco continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Wilco's self-titled album. Available here on Picture Disc, Standard LP and Standard CD.

Wilco’s seventh release, Wilco (the album), took shape quickly in January ’09 after the band traveled to Auckland, New Zealand to participate in an Oxfam International benefit project. The band began cutting tracks for the new album, producing it themselves with the help of engineer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Rage Against the Machine, the Dixie Chicks). The sextet completed the disc at its Chicago studio and performed in April at the New Orleans Jazz &amp; Heritage Festival; where the Times-Picayune praised their “thrilling, nuanced set.” Wilco (the album) combines the intimacy of its previous studio disc, Sky Blue Sky (2007), with the experimentation of A Ghost Is Born (2004) in a set that boasts strong melodies and gorgeous, often unabashedly pop arrangements. Wilco has clearly laid out the welcome mat to admirers of all aspects of its career; in fact, the disc opens with “Wilco (the song)” – originally unveiled in the group’s performance on The Colbert Report last October – in which Tweedy &amp; Co. offer their fans “a sonic shoulder to cry on,” promising,“Wilco will love you, baby.” Talking to a Rolling Stone reporter, drummer Glenn Kotche calls it “a great, upbeat song professing our love for our fans.” That said, Tweedy’s lyrics remain frank and fascinating; Rolling Stone calls them “sly, insightful and often heartbreaking.” As with Sky Blue Sky, most of the tracks are concise in shape; “Bull Black Nova,” however, features a dramatically building arrangement and thrilling guitar crescendo, more duel than jam. It’s followed by the gentler “You and I,” a duet between Tweedy and Canadian singer- songwriter Feist, and “You Never Know,” a gloriously anthemic track that is the album’s first single. The disc culminates with “Everlasting Everything” a piano-driven ballad with delicate sonic nuances that lyrically celebrates love’s endurance.
