Friday Featured Track
The song that has been on my brain the most this week:
- “Wilco (The Song),” Wilco, from the new release “Wilco (The Album).”
Alt-rock band Wilco released its new self-titled album on Tuesday, and though I seized a copy that day, I must admit I haven’t listened to the whole record yet.
That’s because I keep coming back to the first track, the infectious, sassy “Wilco (The Song).”
Sure, the other songs I’ve heard so far - ”Deeper Down,” “One Wing” and ”Bull Black Nova” - are affecting, well-crafted, sonically and lyrically interesting tracks.
But they just don’t evoke the sunshiney feeling of “Wilco (The Song),” which isn’t surprising since that’s the apparent intent of the track. In it, the band cheekily promises to make listeners’ lives better by providing a ”sonic shoulder for you to cry” on.
After all, as the lyrics go, “Wilco will love you baby.”
Right now, I’m loving Wilco and the song back.
-BAM
