I feel like this post kind of went unnoticed. A Tweedy solo acoustic album is something Wilco-related that I've been waiting on ever since his solo performances from the I Am Trying to Break your Heart doc.
One of my favorite parts of that doc is when Laminated Cat is being teased or demo'd or whatever.
Tracklist doesn't seem amazing on paper, but who knows
01. “Via Chicago”
02. “Laminated Cat”
03. “Lost Love”
04. “Muzzle Of Bees”
05. “Ashes Of American Flags”
06. “Dawned On Me”
07. “In A Future Age”
08. “I’m Trying To Break Your Heart”
09. “Hummingbird”
10. “I’m Always In Love”
11. “Sky Blue Sky”

Richard Thompson made an album like this a few years ago (probably around the time of Americanarama and the Tweedy-produced "Still" so maybe that's where he got the idea). I'm willing to be proven wrong but I'm pretty ambivalent about this. I also wonder why he chose this instead of a proper release of one of his many solo shows.

I wouldn't call anything with Nels Cline on it "stripped down," but compared to the sonic chaos that Jim O'Rourke brought to the previous two albums, I know what you mean. I imagine these versions will simply be guitar/voice/possibly harmonica.

pretty cool, but I'm just as happy spinning the Sunken Treasure songs. That live album doesn't get old for me.

One of my favorites off Wilco (The Album), I should make an effort to listen to that record more. It's almost like their own Avocado album -- a bunch of stellar songs that are basically retreads of songs they've done before. But it's way better than Avocado.
ha ha -- tallest midget.
i don't think i've listened to that album in years. it's not one of my favorites that's for sure. the whole gimmicky thing with naming the album wilco the album and the "wilco will love you baby" rubbed me the wrong way. and that's a criticism having nothing to do with the actual songs.
but i LOVE bull black nova. full-band live is amazing.
