"The intimate story of one of the great American bands of our time, creators of the smash indie-rock songs from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot--the most acclaimed album of the year. By now the story has become music-industry lore--part cautionary tale, part barometer of the times. When alt-country-cum-experimental-rock indie heroes Wilco turned in their fourth album (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot) to its label, Reprise, a division of Warner, fans looked forward to the release of another challenging, genre-bending departure from their previous work. The band hoped to build on their previous, modest sales and critical acclaim but was instead asked to compromise its artistic integrity for what the Reprise record execs promised would be 'radio-friendly' success--and higher record sales. When Wilco wouldn't give, they found themselves without a label. The ultimate irony? Nonesuch, another division of Warner, bought the record for three times the money and the album debuted at 13 on the Billboard charts, posting its strongest sales to date. Already the subject of the music documentary I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Wilco is the band that critics have called both 'the greatest band you've never heard' and 'the greatest band of its generation.' But its reputation is growing. Their story is not just one of the David-and-Goliath struggle against corporate influence on musicians, it is also a compelling, intimate look at making music and the difficult but wonderful collaborative process of being in a band." [publisher copy] "Wilco's vindication shows that audiences are catching up to one of the most adventurous and accomplished bands around, which has evolved far beyond its rootsy, country-rock origins to embrace elaborate production, electronic effects, and improvised noise. The Wilco story is essentially that of leader Jeff Tweedy, and Kot, a music critic in Wilco's hometown, Chicago, traces Tweedy's path from his groundbreaking first band, Uncle Tupelo, to forming Wilco with guitarist Jay Bennett, to the pair's recent, acrimonious breakup. Drawing on long familiarity with the music, as well as interviews with Tweedy and bandmates, Kot effectively conveys how the pressures on a successful band can be just as trying as those a struggling one suffers. An intelligent book about a most intelligent rock band."--Booklist. Pristine ARC paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
