Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

The Chicago-based band, Wilco, has released a new record this past May. Their new record, Sky Blue Sky, is a new gem for the band's alternative.
From evolving from the late eighties - early ninties Uncle Tupelo, they've gone from country to significantly alternative. If you decided to listen to their first album, A.M. then switched gears and listened to Sky Blue Sky, you wouldn't know they were the same band. Except for the ring of Jeff Tweedy's voice.
With the constant bang of instruments, you could try and guess the band. But you really aren't sure until about eighteen seconds in when you hear Tweedy sing. It takes the world away from around you and you can just ease into relaxation mode. Tuning in, you can listen to Tweedy paint an image of the character he is imagining in the song. Take Hate it Here for example, you can imagine a man whose girl left him alone, and he's doing all these things to forget about it.
So, I suggest you try Sky Blue Sky out. It's proof the band has come a long way since Uncle Tupelo.
