October's Album of the Month: Sukierae-Tweedy




Once again, I have decided to utilize the album of the month to highlight something new.  This time it is Tweedy's Sukierae. A double-album solo project by Wilco frontman, Jeff Tweedy.  With his son, Spencer, manning the drums & percussion, the album is released under the familial moniker of 'Tweedy'.  As the singer and primary songwriter/musical director of Wilco, Sukierae sounds, unsurprisingly, like a new Wilco album with, perhaps, a bit more focus on stripped down acoustic numbers (particularly on the second disc).  That being said, the album has some of the best tunes Tweedy has penned in years, especially the delightful "Low Key" which, I think, has already pretty much become my favorite song of 2014. The video is pretty awesome as well.


Key Tracks: "Low Key", "World Away", Diamond Light, Pt. 1", "I'll Sing it", "Fake Fur Coat"
