Wilco - "Impossible Germany (Live)"

I've got a treat for you today. Wilco was one of those bands that people who knew my musical tastes kept mentioning to me. "You should really check them out." I tried a number of different albums at several different points in time, but never really found a good entry point. Their album "Yankee Foxtrot Hotel" was critically acclaimed by virtually every music publication, but I still haven't found much to like on that one. However, my opinion of Wilco changed when I heard their album "Sky Blue Sky"; the album is genius, and I say that without a hint of hyperbole. Take this track for instance...how would you pin it down into a single genre? It turns out that the addition of Nels Cline on guitar augmented their sound quite a bit, and it's not hard to see why from this video...the man creates a world of possibilities.

It was really hard for me to pick a single song from this album, because I really could recommend almost every track. So I'm sure I'll be posting more from this album in the future, but for the time being, enjoy this one!
