Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy's new solo album 'WARM' is a delight for those who grew up with the band
On his sophomore solo record 'WARM', Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy invites listeners to lean in around the campfire as he sits with an acoustic guitar and reflects on death, life, love, sobriety, heartache and many other familiar themes from his Wilco days. But even if these themes are familiar to Wilco fans, the treatment and delivery are unlike most of the Americana rock outfit's canonical works.
Sonically landing closer to his side project Tweedy, which he formed with his son Spencer in 2014, and also his solo debut 'Together at Last' which rolled out last year, 'WARM' is devoid of the propulsive rock-centric drive of Wilco and is centered around his acoustic guitar skills instead. If not for his signature Martin 0-18 guitar, then the driving force of the album is unfettered earnestness which pours itself out with every word Tweedy croons.
