Wilco’s first studio album in three years, Sky Blue Sky, has been perhaps the most ardently awaited release of ’07. Sky Blue Sky is as eloquently straightforward as Wilco’s last studio recording, A Ghost Is Born, was daringly experimental.

Featuring the band that was assembled after the release of A Ghost is born , Sky Blue Sky is the first studio album from a line-up that has received overwhelmingly positive critical and popular acclaim for its nearly three years of live shows. Sky Blue Sky features guitarist, singer, and principal songwriter Jeff Tweedy; longtime Tweedy band mate bassist John Stirratt; percussionist Glenn Kotche; keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen; multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone; and avant-jazz guitarist Nels Cline (recently named one of the Top 20 New Guitar Gods by Rolling Stone magazine).

The twelve new songs on Sky Blue Sky were recorded at the band’s Chicago studio, The Loft. The album was produced by Wilco, recorded by TJ Doherty (Sonic Youth, the Hold Steady), and mixed by Jim Scott (The Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Dixie Chicks, the Rolling Stones).
