Music reviews of Sky Blue Sky
Music Review: Sobriety Breeds Perfection
Rating: 5 Stars
First let me say I think Jeff Tweedy is the very best male talent around today period (Jewel being the best female). This is his very best album, he uses Nels Cline to perfection, the writing is sharp and clear and the sounds delightful. This is the sound of a mind set free after years of addiction and just hard living. Like it or not WILCO is Jeff Tweedys project to do , say and use people in his vision. And here he uses everyone to perfection. This album is a bloomer if you dont love it at first try try again. Some of the very best songs took me a while to set in, SHAKE IT OFF for instance, I thought was the weak link first few listens. Now I think it one of his very best songs. This is WILCO's very most Joy filled album. I highly recommend it to all, especially to you 40 and over people desperate for something as good as the classic rock we knew.
Description of Sky Blue Sky
"Sky Blue Sky" has hints of early-seventies Southern California folk-rock sweetness in the harmonies. The album is filled with brash guitar solos that take songs like "You Are My Face" and "Shake It Off" in unexpected directions.After their wild experimental streak of the past decade, Wilco's sixth studio album might feel like a bit of a comedown. Sky Blue Sky is mellow, moody, and uncharacteristically monotone, opening with a pleasant jangle and Jeff Tweedy singing a simple song: "Maybe the sun will shine today, the clouds will blow away." He doesn't even follow it up with a barbed punchline. Could it be that the restless Chicago band has settled back into its gentle Americana roots--or does this sudden mid-career reappraisal represent Wilco's gutsiest move yet? Mostly written in the studio by the full band, it's certainly the group's most cohesive album in ages, presenting a dense song cycle padded with intricate guitar work, brushed rhythms, and '70s soft-rock accents. In places it sounds like Wings ("Hate It Here"), in others Harry Nilsson ("Walken"), and in the middle it goes a bit Grateful Dead ("Shake It Off"). At the same time, there's a distinct sense of hearing a band finally at ease in its own skin. Sky Blue Sky represents the sound of Wilco finally pulling through its petulant adolescence. --Aidin Vaziri
