NOIR GUITAR : First Listen: 'Wilco ' : Hear The Band's Impressive New Album In Its Entirety It starts off sounding more like a Velvet Underground record, perhaps a version of "I'm Waiting for the Man." There are similar chord progressions and distorted guitars.

Wilco Wilco On Wilco's seventh studio album, original members Jeff Tweedy and John Stirratt - here joined by guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalists Pat Sansone and Mikael Jorgensen, and drummer Glenn Kotche - stick with what they're best at: solid rock tracks fuelled by a bit of country sass.

Jeff Tweedy is happy with the recent makeup of Wilco. "We're making the music we want." Jeff Tweedy embraces change better than most.

There's special 4th of July holiday programming still going on, including fun TV show marathons and local and national fireworks celebrations.

Review, Wilco, Wilco July 2nd, 2009 by Eric Snider in Reviews Jeff Tweedy doesna t sound any happier.

Since Wilco's humble beginnings as alt-country banner-wavers with 1995's "A.M.," and 1996's "Being There" it's been increasingly hard to pin the Chicago band down.

When it's remarked to Jeff Tweedy while walking backstage at the recent Bonnaroo Music Festival that it's a shame he won't have time to catch most of the festival's other acts, he turns and smiles.

Sometimes the Internet is a drag. Yeah, it's fun to get a sneak preview of new albums, but hearing a highly anticipated record in its entirety weeks before you can hold it in your hand kind of kills the thrill of putting it on your turntable for the first time.

Behold the photogenic members of Wilco: Glenn Kotche , Mikael Jorgensen, Jeff Tweedy, Nels Cline, Pat Sansone and John Stirratt.

Next week, Jesy Fortino, aka Seattle's Tiny Vipers, is releasing her second Sub Pop full length, Life On Earth .

Does titling a record Wilco qualify as a shark-jump for these Chicago dad-rockers? Dunno, but "Nova" reflects what's now a trend in their career flow: It's that one compositionally adventurous and interesting chestnut on a disc otherwise heaped with offal.

The death of Michael Jackson has prompted a flood of articles declaring him the apotheosis of pop stardom, musical success, and universal appeal.

Founded in 1995, the Chicago-based Wilco has become one of America's most innovative and acclaimed rock bands.

No snappy introductions this week. No cute quips. No high concepts. Just a six-pack of new CDs from some old favourites.

Wilco Wilco Nonesuch B- It's always dangerous to judge a record from changeling bands like Wilco on the first few passes, but that's basically what reviews like this are - early impressions and snap judgments.

Earlier today, the Associated Press reported that Champaign County Coroner believes former Wilco member Jay Bennett died of an overdose of a commonly prescribed painkiller and that Bennett's death is being investigated as an accident.
