Album: Twilight Override, by Jeff Tweedy
Great American singer songwriter Jeff Tweedy, leader of Wilco, has produced a new solo triple album. It’s a beautiful two hours with 30 songs, and was inspired by a road trip with his sons where he listened to a triple album and was inspired to do his own. It weaves in social commentary on American decay, and the genres of country, folk, rock, and Americana.
Twilight Override is available from Bandcamp and on Spotify.
