Cruel Country strips away the ambiguity and leans directly into that lineage, with Jeff Tweedy and the band embracing the \"C word\" openly for the first time in a long while. Twenty-one songs recorded live-to-tape at The Loft reflects the loose, unhurried confidence of a band deep into its third decade together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCruel Country–Wilco’s universally acclaimed 12th studio album is available for the first time on vinyl.

We’ve never been particularly comfortable with accepting that definition, the idea that I was making Country Music.
