visit http://wilcoclub.com Wilco is an American rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed by musician and songwriter Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt in 1994 after the breakup of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo. While originally playing a musical style similar to Uncle Tupelo's previous recordings, Wilco is now mostly known for its rock, alternative rock and, sometimes, experimental style. The band current line-up also features guitarist Nels Cline, drummer Glenn Kotche, multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone and pianist Mikael Jorgensen. The band has released six studio albums, a live album, and two tribute albums to American folk musician Woody Guthrie in collaboration with English musician Billy Bragg. Their fifth studio album A Ghost Is Born won two Grammy Awards for the best alternative album and for best recording package in 2005. Sky Blue Sky On May 8, 2006, Glenn Kotche said that the band was in the writing and demoing stages of creating a new record, and that four or five of those songs had made it in to the band's recent live sets. The new songs include "On and On and On," "The Thanks I Get" (later announced to not be on the record), "Walken," "Impossible Germany," "What Light," "Let's Fight," "Either Way" "Let's Not Get Carried Away," "You Are My Face," "Patient With Me," "Sky Blue Sky," "Glad It's Over," "Shake It Off," and "Side With the Seeds." Kotche also said that some of the new songs were written on the spot in the studio by the band as a whole, as opposed to Tweedy fleshing out the song and bringing it to the rest of the band. Following the fall tour, which ended with Nov. 24 and 25 shows in the band's hometown, Wilco went back into the studio to finish recording its album. In a June 2006 interview, guitarist Cline revealed that the band would be writing and demoing new songs in August, followed by recording sessions in November[4] The band's next album is currently slated for a May 2007 release.[5] On January 17th at a solo performance in Nashville, Tweedy revealed that the new album is titled Sky Blue Sky, and it is currently set for release on May 15, 2007.[6] In February 2007, Wilco announced the 12-song album's tentative track listing with the following message on its Web site: "Direct from Gateway Mastering Studios in Portland, Maine... here's the tracklisting, as of now, for Sky Blue Sky ... 1. Either Way; 2. You Are My Face; 3. Impossible Germany; 4. Sky Blue Sky; 5. Side with the Seeds; 6. Shake it Off; 7. Please Be Patient With Me; 8. Hate it Here; 9. Leave Me (Like You Found Me); 10. Walken; 11. What Light; 12. On and On and On" In March 2007, the full album was leaked onto the internet, three months early, following a one-night only stream of the record on the band's website.[citation needed] The album is available since March 24th for pre-order on the official website.
