"Ultimately a record label is just a weird bank..." - Wilco discuss The Whole Love
Wilco just set themselves a record. The Whole Love, the group’s eighth studio album, is the third in a row with its current six-man lineup – a feat of consistency that makes its previous decade of member shakeups look like a bad dream. The group’s last effort may have been dubbed Wilco (The Album), but they should’ve saved the title for this one: it’s their most richly personable effort yet.»

Alt. Country Week: An Introduction
It's been a dramatic year for the Artists Problematically Known as Alt Country - Bonnie Billy's self-proclaimed "big" record, new albums from Wilco, Bill (Smog) Callahan, Magnolia Electric Co, Handsome Family, and even a follow-up to Nick Cave's classic novel "And the Ass Saw the Angel".
