Reviews Customer Reviews for Sky Blue Sky CD DVD      SOUNDS FOR SORE EARS - BEST MUSIC IN A WHILE      Rating:      I saw Wilco in a bar in Pittsburgh just after their first album came out. Took my teenage kids, might've been their first rock show. We high-fived the guys after the show as they were going downstairs to the dressing room. They've come a long, long, way. The tunes have really expanded - sometimes I don;t know what Mr. Tweedy is trying to say, but the way he writes tickles me like no one has in the last twenty years or so. The new lead guitarist is THE INCARNATION OF JOHN CIPOLLINA (RIP - from Quicksilver MEssenger Service of long ago). Nels, you are the MAN! The guitar work and melodies on this album defy description. The bass playing is PERSIAN RUG! The drummer is CONCRETE SOLID. The keys add PECAN PIE & WHIPPED CREAM. I know you fellas won;t make another like this, but WILCO, you're in a great groove here. Folks, buy the recording with the DVD, it's a great look inside the band as they run through some tunes in their practice pad. WOWSA!     Customer Reviews for Sky Blue Sky CD DVD Cd      Sweet & Soulful      Rating:      Sky Blue Sky is an album that is at one sweet and soulful. The melodies are Southern California-ish with a blues twist. An album of love and love lost, this is one of the cleanest and most emotive works I've listened to in a long time. The acoustics are sweet and the electric counterpoint somewhat disharmonious but engaging and stand in optimum counterpoint to both the acoustics and the vocals. Particularly engaging are the opening track, Either Way, which is an unusually wistful tune, the bluesy Hate it Here, a song of love lost, the title track which is easy listening at its best and the closer, Walken, the most morose yet engaging true love song I may have ever heard. I have to admit that Wilco is a band that mostly has passed me by. My son gave this to me as a gift and I have listened to it for a bit every day for 3 months. It's an album that gets under your skin and that begs for another spin. What more can you ask for? The DVD portion is fine--but the bottom line is that this is an ageless album both musically and lyrically. For those who crave intelligent, tuneful rock, this is an A1 pick! Editorial Reviews for Sky Blue Sky CD DVD Audio Cd      Album Description      "Sky Blue Sky" has hints of early-seventies Southern California folk-rock sweetness in the harmonies. The album is filled with brash guitar solos that take songs like "You Are My Face" and "Shake It Off" in unexpected directions. The Deluxe Edition includes a bonus DVD, which contains more than 45 minutes of footage of the band performing songs from Sky Blue Sky. The DVD also contains interview segments with all six band members. The film was directed by Christoph Green and Fugazi's Brendan Canty, the creators of the Jeff Tweedy solo concert film, Sunken Treasure: Live in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the acclaimed documentary series, Burn to Shine.
