Free Music Notes for A Ghost Is Born

Free Music Review: Works for me...
Hit: 4 Stars

I loved this record immediately. It surprised me, no doubt, as it is a departure from previous stuff. But on the first listen, to the first track, when the noise started, I was thrilled. Any child of the 70's probably misses this kind of guitar playing. And I guess some people who didn't grow up in that decade miss it.

I welcome the addition of Nels Cline, have been listening to Sky Blue Sky a lot lately and absolutely love the work they're putting out. It transcends categorization to me--I think it will sound just as good in 20 years. But, as you can see from previous posts, it's not for everyone. Which is totally fine in my book.

A Ghost Is Born Poster

The infectious twang and pop hooks of Wilco's former efforts may be fading fast, but A Ghost Is Born is still a rewarding effort that demands repeated listening. The group's fifth album extends upon the experimentalism of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot with angular, blues-soaked guitar riffs ("At Least That's What You Said," "Hell Is Chrome"), a handful of sparse, yet catchy tunes (smack dab in the middle of the disc) that will surely keep college radio stations smiling, and a lengthy track that descends into mere static ("Less Than You Think"). Frontman Jeff Tweedy's songwriting continues to evolve: "Hummingbird" is a dreamy Randy Newman-styled love song; "The Late Greats" is a sly ode to the world of pop tacked onto the end of the album (as if using such a fun song on this understated disc was an afterthought). Meanwhile, producer extraordinaire Jim O'Rourke manages to make the most complicated arrangements here sound minimalist and laid-back. All told, it's another great addition to the Wilco canon. --Jason Verlinde
