Wilco August 27, 2007

Bridging the gaps between Americana, orchestral pop and alternative rock, Wilco has built a loyal following and earned a boatload of critical acclaim. The group has six albums, including 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,' 'Summerteeth,' 'A Ghost Is Born,' and 'Sky Blue Sky.' The West Coast singer/songwriter has no qualms about resurrecting Franks Wild Years-era Tom Waits & filtering it through the "new weird America" sound of fellow crooners Andrew Bird & Devendra Banhart, but he manages to find the perfect balance between melody & texture.
