Wilco

Jeff Tweedy's terrific alt.country/Americana posse return, plugging their seventh self-titled album, out on Nonesuch. Expect a heartfelt and winning mix of The Band-like country rock, soulfully introspective and gritty Americana, textured atmospherics and ravaged, post-punk glory, free of the beardy, 50-quid man associations of so much of the genre.
