Description
Tracked largely live at The Loft in Chicago, Wilco’s Cruel Country stretches across two LPs with an easy, lived-in swing. The title track ambles with brushed drums and patient harmonies, while Tired of Taking It Out on You threads two acoustics so tightly you notice the breath between strums. Nels Cline turns lyrical on Bird Without a Tail/Base of My Skull, a long arc that never showboats. A Lifetime to Find leans into a waltz shuffle and a grin, pure barroom wisdom.
This 2LP pressing opens up the space around the band, and the imaging snaps into focus so you can place every fiddle scrape and hi-hat tick. It suits slow mornings as much as late drives, and feels like a gentle reset for the group’s alt‑country DNA. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Wilco records online with us.
File it next to Neil Young’s Harvest-era turns, though Tweedy’s writing keeps a drier wit and a modern, slightly crooked edge. The songs feel unhurried but not sleepy, warm without schmaltz, and the band plays like they’re in your lounge, not a museum.
Available to buy online with quick delivery Australia wide, or pick it up in our Melbourne record store.
