Wilco on Austin City Limits


I saw them on Austin City Limits recently and was really impressed with this band. They have a great sound, interesting lyrics and Nels Cline is an absolute MF on the guitar.

Anybody heard Nels new album?

Nels is a phenom on the guitar. I've seen him live quite a few times and he and his bands are always great.

Pretty much it seems anything he is involved with is pretty solid. His new album is great too. One older possibly overlooked album of his is "Chest" it's a trio with bass and drums, maybe from around 97? I picked it up on vinyl and it is one of my favortites. Another great one is "Destroy All"

A lot of Nels' fans were bummed to hear he had joined Wilco, thinking it was to straight a band for a guy of his talent. I think it has been a good addition and if anything has probably opened up the eyes of some to the subtle talent of Wilco. I am one of those. It's nice to see that Nels has no indication of slowing down on his other projects either.
I think you are refering to the song "you are my face" I know that was in a commercial I heard. That is on Sky Blue Sky.

Come on Rockyboy, you should give Sky Blue Sky a chance, it's a lot more "normal" than YFH. It's very easy to like, as are a lot of new groups. You should never give up the hunt for new and interesting stuff to listen to.
