Nothing (Nothing, Nothing, Nothing at all) beats The Whole Love. Except The Whole Love (Expanded). Previously available exclusively for Record Store Day, now available for preorder.
A stunning version of the band’s legendary 2011 album, The Whole Love. Now on 3XLPs, 2XCD or digitally, expanded to include all related single, EP and bonus tracks plus a selection from The Loft’s archive of live in-studio performances and previously unreleased alternate mixes and demos. This worldwide release will be available May 2.
A Ghost is Born Deluxe is available now on vinyl and CD. Up for grabs: the original album alongside alternates, outtakes and demos, charting the making of the album—plus a 2004 concert recording from Boston’s Wang Center and the band’s “fundamentals” workshop sessions. And you know we had to make merch-to-match.
It’s not a human-sized egg, but it’s a pretty great alternative. Get allllll the details and more here.

During the 2024 Winterlude tour, the band explored a new two-set, no opener format… and the votes are in, it’s a hit! It’s been a while since we’ve had so many Roadcase requests for a tour. Of course we couldn’t/wouldn’t let you down…
All three nights from Austin, Texas are available now to download as individual shows or as a bundle. If you get the bundle, you get 101 unique songs performed by the world’s greatest band.
The Hot Sun Cool Shroud is here! And it was designed by one of you! A round of applause for Clementine, Age 3, who won in a unanimous landslide victory after designing this pony-adorned cover at Solid Sound. 🦄
Vinyl and CD is available now! Get it in the Wilco Store US / EU / AUS, at your local record shop and on Amazon. 🍒
Hot Sun Cool Shroud features six new tracks from Wilco that have a summertime-after-dark kind of feeling.
“It starts off pretty hot, like heat during the day, has some instrumentals on it that are a little agitated and uncomfortable and ends with a cooling breeze. There are tracks on Hot Sun Cool Shroud that are more aggressive and angular than anything we’ve put out in a while, and a song about love melting you like ice cream into a puddle of sugary soup. All the pieces of summer, including the broody cicadas.” – Jeff Tweedy
If you need a serotonin boost, look no further.

Lace up your skates and meet Wilco at The Rink.
The band’s new music video for “Meant To Be” is out now.
It was shot at The (legendary) Rink on Chicago’s Southside, the video highlights JB Skating, a smooth dance style of skating that started in the early ’70s. Picture synchronized group movements to James Brown tunes (hence the “JB”) under disco ball lights. 🪩
Watch now. And replay again and again. No Wilcos were harmed in the making of this video 🛼

For years we called it “Book 3”. Now it’s more formally named WORLD WITHIN A SONG: Music That Changed My Life and Life That Changed My Music. “WWAS” for short.
Whatever you call it, Jeff Tweedy’s 3rd book available now via Dutton. Order here!
When we asked Jeff about the book, he said: “I want to talk about songs that gave me permission to be creative…to be myself. To say something that was hard to say. I’ll be telling stories from my life, focusing on a true-to-memory style of how it really felt to me, how I experienced things emotionally. And then I want to talk about music in the same way. I want to talk about music in a way that it rarely gets talked about. I want to talk about the world within the song.”
Wilco’s new album, Cruel Country, is available now on vinyl and CD.
Available on 2-LP (black and color vinyl) or 2-CD. Both feature 21 songs including early fan favorite, “A Lifetime to Find,” which was shared via a spo0oooky new music video!
Wilco’s 12th album has had a heck of a ride so far. Originally given digitally to Solid Sound participants for free, followed by a digital release May 27 (the same day the band performed it live in its entirety at the festival). Lauded by NYT as Wilco’s “understated Magnum Opus” and later released on Record Store Day as a white label CD. Now it lands in good company on the best of 2022 lists from Rolling Stone, Variety, Spin, Uproxx, and Paste AND its long awaited physical release is nearly here!
Amid Cruel Country celebrations, Wilco played 3 surprise shows at Chicago’s iconic Honky Tonk, Carol’s Pub. Enjoy a live cut from the night now.
And continue celebrating with the band at upcoming tour dates in Chicago, Port Chester NY, ICELAND, the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama, Athens GA/OH, Tennessee and later this year in Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, and Ireland!
Good news! We finally got our hands on some extra press time to reprint Sky Blue Sky!

Get WARM / WARMER, Love is the King / Live is the King, and Sukierae by Jeff Tweedy! Available now in the Wilco Stores.
WARMER is the companion release to WARM and was previously released as a RSD exclusive. Live is the King is an expanded package featuring studio and live versions of all 11 songs played by Jeff with a full band.

We’re constantly updating Wilcostore.com with new fun items. The latest release is a throwback!
The Wilco 3D Viewfinder is a crossover between one of childhood’s best toys and one of America’s best bands. Each 3D Viewfinder comes with 3 reels, each containing 7 Wilco images. The Loft Reel takes a closer look at the band’s iconic Chicago studio, The Green Room Reel shows rare backstage snaps, and the Live Sessions Reel gets up close with the band members on stage.
We know what you’re thinking. The answer is: No, Jeff doesn’t stop making music.
Which means you’re in luck, because there are two new tracks available now as part of Sub Pop’s Singles Club.
“C’mon America,” the A-side, is from an unreleased group of songs with mostly sci-fi lyrics. Meanwhile “UR-60 Unsent,” the B-side, is a pitiful tale of an unsent lovesick mixtape, taken from a separate batch of unreleased songs with mostly pitiful lyrics.
Listen / order here.

Share The Wealth, a spankin’ new, multi-faceted document played by a sublimely-expanded edition of my long-standing combo called The Nels Cline Singers is out now.
“Anyone out there hankering for a rather elaborate elucidation of sonic architecture in the jazz/rock/improv universe at this time? I hope so, but I truly understand if not. Creations get created and plans to provide these creations to you, the ardent listeners, get planned, and so here I am/we are with Share The Wealth. I am, in spite of so many concerning non-musical occurrences that assail us all at this time, truly happy and proud to announce the imminent release of this double album.” – NC

Previously out-of-print, Pat’s book “100 Polaroids” is now available to order. A portion of proceeds will be donated to MusiCares.
“10 years ago I put together this book to commemorate an exhibit at the first Solid Sound Festival… an exhibit of 100 photographs chosen from the thousands I had taken in the previous few years. I had just begun to look at preparing this reprint when COVID emerged, and was on the fence about whether or not to move forward with the endeavor. But I decided that I’d rather continue to stay involved in creative pursuits and share it with others…”
Available here.
Both pressings of the “All Lives, You Say?” 7-are officially sold out. Thanks! Because of you, we were able to donate $7,500 to Movement for Black Lives.
