Product Details

Sky Blue Sky arrived in 2007 as something of a left turn for a band that had spent years being celebrated for sonic deconstruction. Recorded with the then-newly expanded lineup that brought guitarists Nels Cline and Pat Sansone into the fold, the album leaned hard into the kind of warm, unhurried interplay that rewards repeated listening, Cline's improvisational instincts in particular giving these songs a live, breathing quality that connects directly to the band's increasingly exploratory concert performances.

SKY BLUE SKY is as eloquently straightforward as Wilco's last studio recording, the Grammy-winning a GHOST IS BORN, was daringly experimental. Tweedy's lyrics deal forthrightly with romantic separation and reconciliation, their bittersweet quality giving way, as the album progresses, to a more uplifting, redemptive mood. Tweedy quite literally banishes the darkness on the penultimate track, the inspiring, gospel-tinged "What Light" - the album's first single - and concludes with a deeply affecting, till-death-do-us-part lullaby, "On and on and On".
