Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"Sky Blue Sky" has hints of early-seventies Southern California folk-rock sweetness in the harmonies. The album is filled with brash guitar solos that take songs like "You Are My Face" and "Shake It Off" in unexpected directions.

After their wild experimental streak of the past decade, Wilco's sixth studio album might feel like a bit of a comedown. Sky Blue Sky is mellow, moody, and uncharacteristically monotone, opening with a pleasant jangle and Jeff Tweedy singing a simple song: "Maybe the sun will shine today, the clouds will blow away." He doesn't even follow it up with a barbed punchline. Could it be that the restless Chicago band has settled back into its gentle Americana roots--or does this sudden mid-career reappraisal represent Wilco's gutsiest move yet? Mostly written in the studio by the full band, it's certainly the group's most cohesive album in ages, presenting a dense song cycle padded with intricate guitar work, brushed rhythms, and '70s soft-rock accents. In places it sounds like Wings ("Hate It Here"), in others Harry Nilsson ("Walken"), and in the middle it goes a bit Grateful Dead ("Shake It Off"). At the same time, there's a distinct sense of hearing a band finally at ease in its own skin. Sky Blue Sky represents the sound of Wilco finally pulling through its petulant adolescence. --Aidin Vaziri

Jeff Tweedy is responsible for some of my favorite lyrics over the years and the thing I love most about Sky Blue Sky is his emotional progression as an artist. Sky Blue Sky is the other side of Jeff's frequently depressed and dark lyrics. Where once he wrote "I know that I would die if I could come back new" he now writes "Either way, I'm gonna stay right for you." This is not to say that Tweedy has become an overly-hopeful cheese ball. Perhaps the most touching moment on the album is when he sings, "I should warn you when I'm not well, I can't tell." It is Tweedy's ability to take a discussion of the individual's lack of self awareness during bouts of mental illness and refine the truth down to a single sentence.
One thing I will mention about the music is the cohesion of the band - It reaches new heights. Many of the Wilco projects could be better described as Jeff Tweedy and Friends. This is simply not the case with Sky Blue Sky. Tweedy is still the captain but every member of his crew is essential to the musical journey and they are each clearly a part of the song crafting.
To be fair, Wilco has yet to make what I would consider a perfect album, but then again, few artist ever have. What Sky Blue Sky achieves however, is a subtle blend of honesty and maturity expressed by a group of musicians who clearly enjoy making music together.
I disagree.
Whether with "YHF", "A ghost..", or any other Wilco album, Jeff Tweedy's ingenuity lies in his endless ability to recycle, then make his own, a huge pallette of musical influences from the 60s and 70s. Sky Blue Sky is just a continuation or evolution of his method.
Some people seem upset that "Sky" doesn't contain the noise driven interludes of its two predecessors, but if you listen closely, they're still there. Most of the songs on "Sky" do contain some spaces for improvisation, albeit more muted.
I read one review in a major publication that called "Sky" parody. The old saying goes that imitation is the highest form of flattery. While "Sky" contains a long list of musical cliches from the 60s and 70s, it's difficult to say whether it's outright mockery or parody. If it is, then Beck and Wilco have elevated parody to the highest art form, and in the process seen tremendous success.
Can you hear Grateful Dead on "Sky"? Sure. Some Steely Dan thrown in for good measure? Sure. Eagles or Don Henley? Check. Prog rock elements? Yep. It's all in there.
Sky Blue Sky may just be Wilco's best record to date. Not in spite of the influences, or in spite of being mellower than their previous efforts, but precisely because of it.
Wilco owes its existence to classic rock (a radio format I loathe with a passion), and in the process, has become classic (not to mention classy) itself. Rock on, Mr. Tweedy!
Took my teenage kids, might've been their first rock show. We
high-fived the guys after the show as they were going downstairs to the dressing room. They've come a long, long, way.
The tunes have really expanded - sometimes I don;t know what Mr. Tweedy is trying to say, but the way he writes tickles me like no one has in the last twenty years or so.
The new lead guitarist is THE INCARNATION OF JOHN CIPOLLINA (RIP - from Quicksilver MEssenger Service of long ago). Nels, you are the MAN! The guitar work and melodies on this album defy description. The bass playing is PERSIAN RUG! The drummer is CONCRETE SOLID. The keys add PECAN PIE & WHIPPED CREAM. I know you fellas won;t make another like this, but WILCO, you're in a great groove here. Folks, buy the recording with the DVD, it's a great look inside the band as they run through some tunes in their practice pad. WOWSA!

Belle melodie, pacate, sviluppano una certa atmosfera fatta di organo e piano e arpeggi di chitarra.
Per momenti di riflessione.
