''Wilco (The Album)'' is the seventh studio album by American alternative rock group Wilco which was released June 30, 2009. Prior to release, Wilco streamed the album on their website. The album was nominated for an Grammy Award for Best Americana Album. ==Production== After Wilco released their sixth studio album, ''Sky Blue Sky'', in 2007, they spent the following two years touring to promote the album. In August 2008, ''Billboard'' reported that Wilco had been playing two new songs, "One Wing" and "Sonny Feeling", at recent shows in anticipation of a new studio album.〔 ''Rolling Stone'' revealed the title of the album on April 28, 2009. The album was recorded in Neil Finn's recording studio Roundhead Studios in Auckland, New Zealand. Members of Wilco were present to record material for a ''7 Worlds Collide'' compilation album to benefit Oxfam. Guitarist Nels Cline and multi-instrumentalist Mikael Jorgensen provided overdubs once the band returned to Chicago. The album was produced by the band and Jim Scott, who worked as an engineer on ''Being There'', ''Summerteeth'', and ''Sky Blue Sky''. The band joined Scott in Valencia, California to mix the album. According to lead singer Jeff Tweedy, the band "allow() () a little bit more leeway in terms of sculpting the sound in the studio and doing overdubs and using the studio as another instrument". ''Wilco (The Album)'' included the first duet to be featured on a Wilco album, "You and I", which was recorded with Canadian indie folk singer Feist. The band met Feist at the 50th Grammy Awards and found they had a mutual appreciation for each other's music. On May 13, 2009, the album leaked on the internet, and Wilco promptly responded by streaming the album for free on their website. The stream resulted in over 100,000 visits to Wilco's website on the 13th. The band also suggested that those who downloaded the leaked copy make a charitable donation to Inspiration Corporation, an organization that assists low-income families in Chicago. Blogger Mike Masnick praised Wilco for their response to the leak, contrasting it to the reactionary response from 20th Century Fox following the leak of ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilco (The Album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
