"Hands down, this has been the easiest Wilco record to make, so naturally I'm in love with it," Wilco front man Jeff Tweedy recently told Harp magazine. "From the very first session when we sat down to work on the material, everybody has been pointed in the same direction...and that made the whole experience a lot of fun." Featuring the band that was assembled after the release of A ghost is born (Nonesuch, 2004), Sky Blue Sky is the first studio album from a lineup that has received overwhelmingly positive critical and popular acclaim for its nearly three years of live shows, documented on the 2005 live double-disc Kicking Television: Live in Chicago. Rolling Stone called that recording"a definitive live statement fromAmerica's foremost rock impressionists." 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).
