"Is "a really hopeful album.". People are going to gravitate towards what they gravitate towards. There are some dismal lyrics and ugly sounds - but every song to me has a positive element..."

"I don't have any idea where we fit in," Wilco's Jeff Tweedy said recently*. "From my outsider perspective, I'd have to say we don't. But I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm really happy about this mysterious blend of commercial success and artistic freedom."

Wilco has been among America's most acclaimed rock outfits since their 1995 debut, "A.M." Albums such as "BEING THERE" (1996) and "SUMMERTEETH" (1999) - not to mention their two "MERMAID AVENUE" collaborations with Billy Bragg and the lyrics of Woody Guthrie - have seen the band earning themselves a loyal fanbase while always expanding their creative boundaries. With "YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT," Wilco continue to walk their remarkable path, never looking back.

"I feel like a late bloomer," Tweedy has said. "This new record makes me feel like I could make a lot better records. Not that I go back and think, 'Oh, that record's obsolete.' They're each their own thing. But I just like not feeling completely comfortable, not feeling completely confident that I know a formula or I know some approach to making music that works. Not to get all hippie-dippy, but it's more important to tune yourself into that thing that exists in all good records - to be able to hear that instead of reducing it to some number of things that you find to be true or real.'' * Quotes excerpted from the Chicago Sun-Times, 2001
