Get an early taste of Wilco’s new album Sky Blue Sky on their site where they offer the track “What Light”, an obvious reference to the Velvets. I heard a part of another song as well as snippets of the whole album on this past Thursday’s edition of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen chats the with the infamous Robert Christgau, Will Hermes and former WFMU DJ Meredith Ochs about the new Wilco album, and latest offerings by Modest Mouse, Fountains of Wayne and Bright Eyes. I haven’t heard the new Modest Mouse album yet, which has been out for a couple weeksbut I am looking foward to as well as all of these new releases. The NPR crew also play a very funny country song by Elizabeth Cook which by the title“Sometimes It Takes Balls To Be A Woman” you can get a sense of what it’s all about.

I’ve gotten my hands a most of the tracks off of the new Wilco album and wow, it is fabulous. The creative guitar work continues to impress me, and I love the amount of piano worked in this time. It will easily be in my top 5 (probably in the #1 slot) “best of 2007″ list.
