WILCO Wilco [The Album] (2009 UK 11-track CD album -
Combining the intimacy of 2007's 'Sky Blue Sky', with the
experimentation of 'A Ghost Is Born' [2004], 'Wilco [the album]'
boasts strong melodies and gorgeous, often unabashedly pop
arrangements. Opening with 'Wilco [the song]' in which Tweedy
& Co offer their fans 'a sonic
shoulder to cry on' promising, 'Wilco will love you baby', other
highlights include'Bull Black Nova', with its dramatically building
arrangement and thrilling guitar crescendo; the gloriously
anthemic 'You Never Know'; and the single 'You And I', a duet
between Tweedy and Canadian singer-songwriter Feist, before
culminating with 'Everlasting Everything', a piano-driven ballad
with delicate sonic nuances that lyrically celebrates love's
endurance)
