#13: Wilco - Wilco (The Album)

From the ashes of Uncle Tupelo, two alt-country phenomenons were born. Really, they had been honing their craft together since they were teenagers, but have spent the greater part of the past decade and a half moving their separate ways with their own bands. With Wilco, Jeff Tweedy has arguably garnered greater commercial success than has Jay Farrar with Son Volt.

For the seventh installment from the band, Tweedy chose to name it, simply, Wilco - parenthetically referencing it "The Album". Likewise, the first track is Wilco (The Song). The album itself is one of their most relaxed to date, yet following the trend of Sky Blue Sky. Maybe Tweedy and company are getting older and settling down a little bit, and maybe I am as well, right along with them.
