Product Details
Written and recorded during the spring 2020 lockdown, these songs find Tweedy in quintessentially intimate mode, the Wilco frontman stripping things back to their acoustic bones at a moment when the whole world was doing the same. The deluxe edition pairs the original album with live recordings that deepen the listening experience, proving these quiet, carefully crafted songs hold up just as powerfully outside the studio.
Out on dBpm Records, Love Is The King, a “beautifully honest ode to love and hope,” is the follow-up to 2018’s WARM and 2019’s WARMER, and comes on the heels of Tweedy’s second book, How To Write One Song. “At the beginning of the lockdown I started writing country songs to console myself. Folk and country type forms being the shapes that come most easily to me in a comforting way. 'Guess Again' is a good example of the success I was having at pushing the world away, counting my blessings — taking stock in my good fortune to have love in my life,” comments Tweedy. “A few weeks later things began to sound like 'Love Is The King' — a little more frayed around the edges with a lot more fear creeping in. Still hopeful but definitely discovering the limits of my own ability to self soothe." This deluxe edition will include a second disc of live material, all in the same sequence as the studio recording plus a Neil Young cover bonus track titled “The Old Country Waltz."
