(guest blogged by Howie Klein) John asked me to review SKY BLUE SKY, the just-released Wilco album, before I shuffle off to DC in the morning. I've been listening to it non-stop all day. [Disclaimer: I'm a huge Wilco fan and their songs dominate my iPod, right up there with Dylan, Neil Young, Green Day, Doves, Tim Buckley, Joni Mitchell and Steve Earle.] Oh, man... do I love this album! It's not a raucous and rocked out party album. It's introspective and it's power is in Jeff Tweedy's intensely personal song-writing. It takes more than one listen to really get it but once you do... you have a genyuine long-lasting treasure. Here's "What Light" from the album.

We have an ad on the site for Wilco's new record...
