Jeff Tweedy, best known as the founder of the pioneering Chicago rock band Wilco, releases a new album through his own dBpm Records. The album, 'Sukierae' (sue-key-ray), is not quite a solo effort. It is the debut release by the aptly-monikered duo, Tweedy, which features 20 new Jeff Tweedy-written songs, performed by Jeff in a musical collaboration with his 18-year-old son and drummer Spencer Tweedy. With Spencer on drums, Jeff handles his usual guitars and vocals, as well as bass and keyboards. Backing vocals on 'Sukierae' come courtesy of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of the Brooklyn-band Lucius. Musician Scott McCaughey (R.E.M., The Minus Five, The Baseball Project) lends additional keyboard support on 'Sukierae'. Jeff Tweedy is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer. Spencer Tweedy, despite his young age, is a longtime member of the Chicago band The Blisters and handled drum duties on the latest album by soul and gospel legend Mavis Staples.
