Free Music Notes for Sky Blue Sky
Free Music Review: Unexpected is Good
Hit: 5 Stars
Well if you are not into ballads, this Wilco album is probably not for you.An about-face from Wilco's earlier albums (then again their albums usually are), this album clearly will stir up a lot of controversy because of its gentler,sweeter songs. I for one think its wonderful.I like the mellow, simpler nature of these songs with a twinge of the 70's sound.'Either Way' is probably my favorite track. They take chances and I think it keeps their music always fresh and exciting. If you like this check out other indie artists' albums I like this year, Arrica Rose and Keane
Free Music Review: Best Wilco yet.
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a Wilco fan, loving what they've done from their Uncle Tupelo origins through "A Ghost is born," but this, I believe, is their best release. I was originally disappointed its the mellowness on the first few listens, but then the bluesy 70's folk-rock caught me. I wasn't sure what to expect with the claim that this album would be a return to their roots. Did it mean a style like "Being There," or "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" without the electronic mixing, or even a return back to Uncle Tupelo type music? But even with that, would that be like "No Depression" or "March 16-20, 1992"? This is different than any of that. It has rich layers of music with lyrics that are simple, yet poignant. Once again, they've challenged their fans to keep up with where they're headed.Free Music Review: Nothing innovative- Just strong songwriting and guitar works

Great to a see the new Wilco album- Sky Blue Sky!
I have been following Jeff Tweedy since his Uncle Tupelo days. Many would say this album is boring. I disagree. True there are no innovations. Additionally it is not a back to basics A.M.istic product. However, it is an admirable effort. Like the Beatles' "White Album", this album I think is under undue scrutiny from its fans since it must follow the legacy of such favorite albums as "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" and "A Ghost Is Born". Personally, I can't stop singing the lyrics of "Side With Seeds" and "Hate It Here", I can literally replay the guitar works of "Impossible Germany" over and over again. Call me a fan but there is a place for this Album in my collection. Afterall its Wilco!

Free Music Review: Everything has its plan, either way...
Hit: 5 Stars
A very strong and concise effort which flows beautifully from start to finish. Excellent songwriting and execution. Please don't be influenced by some of the nit-picky comments that several critics are putting out there about Sky Blue Sky. Artists evolve, bands evolve. Jeff Tweedy and company know what they're doing, so just sit back and enjoy the ride. This recording is somewhat understated relative to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost is Born. That's not good or bad, just different. Less is more with Sky Blue Sky, and every note counts on this recording. If you can appreciate anything about Wilco, you will not be disappointed with this CD. Like most art, it takes a little time to fully appreciate. Spend the time, you won't be disappointed.Free Music Review: Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline are guitar rock gods!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Once again Wilco have totally changed the landscape of their sound while keeping their musicianship and writing impeccable. Tweddy's lyrics are straightforward, accessible, and lovely. All the guitar work on this album is flawless, particularly Nels Cline's. Every piece of every song is represented in musical perfection. Tweedy's opening line, "Maybe The Sun Will Shine Today" is a new beginning personally and for Wilco as a band. "I Hate It Here" is a tale of Mick Jagger and John Lennon if they had settled down in the suburbs(not a bad thing). "Walken" sounds as if it were meant to be on "Being There", but it's too good(and I love Being There). Once again Jeff Tweddy proves he is our generation's Bob Dylan and Wilco is The Band.
