Wilco

Wilco is a contemporary rock band, predominantly known for its country music roots. Primary songwriter / singer Jeff Tweedy was a member of the seminal 1980s group Uncle Tupelo. Wilco has steadily gained popularity since its first release A.M. in 1996. The band's most recent release, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is considered by many in the music industry to be one of the year's best albums, as well as a standout in terms of innovation.
