Editorial Review:
Album Description:
'Sky Blue Sky' has hints of early-seventies SouthernCalifornia folk-rock sweetness in the harmonies. The album is filled withbrash guitar solos that take songs like 'You Are My Face' and 'Shake ItOff' in unexpected directions.
Amazon.com:
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
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Unfortunately probably Wilco's worst album yet, but not without its highlights
The new record from Wilco, in short, works a little better in theory than in practice. The general standout value of the album is that it is filled with more mellow lo-fi songs than Wilco usually makes. This is exactly the kind of album we have waited for from Wilco, although I haven't quite scaled all the reaches of their career so I can only say so much. But a little less country and a little more rock and roll seems like the ideal new direction after having made A Ghost Is Born, possibly the bands ... Read More
Rating:  - hardly - depressing as hell
Good for commiserating about how crappy your life is....if it's good for anything?
The skill is there, just the lyrics spell out drab stuff.not so much fun.
Rating: - Reflective, plaintive sound
Don't recall ever hearing this group until they came bursting (well, not bursting) through the PA speakers at Barnes & Noble. After purchasing the CD at said site (no plug), and playing it through at home, I gotta say maybe it was the group which was new to me, but the *sound* must have rung a bell reminding me why I enjoy the music of John Lennon, Mark Bolan, Jonathan Richman, Steve Forbert, Robert Plant...Arlo Guthrie?
It's okay to be "derivative" if the music is honest, which it is here. ... Read More
Rating:  - Sobriety Breeds Perfection
First let me say I think Jeff Tweedy is the very best male talent around today period (Jewel being the best female). This is his very best album, he uses Nels Cline to perfection, the writing is sharp and clear and the sounds delightful. This is the sound of a mind set free after years of addiction and just hard living. Like it or not WILCO is Jeff Tweedys project to do , say and use people in his vision. And here he uses everyone to perfection. This album is a bloomer if you dont love it at first try ... Read More
Rating: - Not as brilliant as Ghost is Born, but a natural progression
I've been listening to this album a lot lately and it's settling in -- in a really good way. It's nowhere near the ambition or energy of Ghost is Born, but it feels like a natural progression, and it's just a really good album. And I still call Wilco America's greatest living rock band.
