Info for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (Deluxe Edition)

This 8 album Super Deluxe Edition of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Wilco’s 2002 Nonesuch debut, comes in a stunning hard cover book. The set comprises the original album, remastered, plus 82 previously unreleased tracks. Includes demos, drafts, and instrumentals, charting the making of the album; a live 2002 concert recording; and a September 2001 radio performance and interview. The set also includes a new book featuring an interview with Jeff Tweedy, Glenn Kotche, and Jim O’Rourke; an in-depth essay by journalist/author Bob Mehr; and previously unseen photos of the band making the album in their Chicago studio.

Way back yonder in 2000 when Wilco was in the midst of touring behind MERMAID AVENUE VOL. II, frontman Jeff Tweedy met up with musician / producer Jim O’Rourke to perform at the Noise Pop festival in Chicago, and let’s just say that some serious musical magic went down during their course of this encounter. Fast forward a few months to when Wilco entered the studio with engineer Chris Brickley to record their fourth studio album: Tweedy found that he and drummer Ken Coomer didn’t share the same musical vision for the band’s new material, resulting in Coomer being replaced by Glenn Kotche, after which the band decided to let O’Rourke mix the album. Before that happened, however, there was some severe head-butting between Tweedy and bandmate Jay Bennett, and in the wake of the album’s completion, Tweedy decided that it was time for Bennett to bid adieu to the band.

Now we fast-forward again to the unfortunate moment when – in the wake of AOL merging with Time-Warner – Reprise Records decided not to release YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT. At first, it looked as though Wilco was going to have to fork over $50K to keep the rights to the album, but Reprise ultimately gave them the rights to the album for free. Rather than wait until they had a new record label to release their album, however, Tweedy decided to start streaming the album on their official website starting on September 18, 2001, a savvy move which provided Wilco with a ton of free press and resulted in eight times the normal amount of traffic to their website on the initial day of streaming. Meanwhile, as the fans enjoyed the music, Tweedy began a quest to find the right label to officially release the album.

After finally settling on the Warner subsidiary label Nonesuch Records, Wilco released YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT on this day in 2002, which led to the band hitting #13 on the Billboard 200 and earning them a gold record. Unsurprisingly, the album was also a critical success, and it regularly appears in the upper reaches of lists of the Best Albums of the 2000s, as well it should.

Wilco

The Chicago rock band founded in the mid-’90s by singer, guitarist and songwriter Jeff Tweedy last year launched and headlined the inaugural Solid Sound Festival, while Tweedy produced and wrote two songs for the Grammy- winning release by soul legend Mavis Staples, You Are Not Alone, which won Best Americana Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in February.

Staples joined Wilco, Avi Buffalo, Vetiver, the Baseball Project and more to perform at the first Solid Sound Festival, held Aug. 13-15, 2010, on the grounds of MASS MoCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art), a converted textile mill in North Adams, tucked away in the scenic Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts.

Wilco has already announced the second incarnation of Solid Sound June 24-26. Along with a pair of headline performances by Wilco, this year’s version features the Levon Helm Band, Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore, New Zealand rocker Liam Finn, alt-country duo The Handsome Family and folk couple Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion. Also performing are soul singer Syl Johnson, jazz trumpeter Dave Douglas and Chicago retro-soul band JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound, plus indie-rockers Here We Go Magic, Sic Alps, Purling Hiss and a rare live set by Pillow Wand, a collaboration between Moore and Wilco guitarist Nels Cline. Comedian John Hodgman hosts this year’s Comedy Cabaret, featuring Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac and comics Eugene Mirman and Morgan Murphy. Tickets are available via solidsoundfestival.com.

Also, Wilco this winter founded dBpm Records, headquartered in Easthampton, MA, to release future Wilco albums. Speaking of which, the band is currently recording the follow-up to its Grammy-nominated 2009 release Wilco (The Album) at the band’s studio in Chicago, The Loft.

It’s the latest chapter for Wilco, which Tweedy founded in 1994 after the dissolution of his previous group, Uncle Tupelo. From its raucous roots-rock origins, Wilco over the years has expanded its sound to encompass classic pop and genre-spanning experimentalism on acclaimed albums including 2002’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (the subject of Sam Jones’ 2002 film I Am Trying to Break Your Heart) and 2005’s Grammy-winning effort A Ghost is Born. Wilco also teamed with English singer Billy Bragg in the late ’90s at the invitation of Woody Guthrie’s daughter, who invited them to collaborate on setting to music some of the folk icon’s previously unrecorded lyrics, resulting in a pair of highly regarded Mermaid Avenue albums.

The current Wilco lineup solidified in 2004 with the addition of guitarist Nels Cline and guitarist/keyboardist Pat Sansone, who rounded out a roster featuring Tweedy, founding bassist John Stirratt, drummer Glenn Kotche and keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen. Kotche joined the band during the making of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and Jorgensen helped with live sound manipulations on that tour before switching to piano and becoming a full-time member of Wilco.

In life beyond Wilco Stirratt and Sansone play together in the folk-pop group Autumn Defense, Jorgensen fronts the pop-rock band Pronto and Cline performs in multiple side projects, most notably with the free-jazz instrumental group The Nels Cline Singers. Kotche performs with bassist Darin Gray in On Fillmore and as a composer and a solo percussionist. He has also collaborated with Tweedy on the Loose Fur side project.

This album contains no booklet.
