WJCT presents Jeff Tweedy with guest James Elkington

Jeff Tweedy, the lead singer and founding member of Wilco and Uncle Tupelo, has created an eclectic body of work spanning four decades, which has solidified him as a major figure in Americana, indie rock, and contemporary folk. Jeff Tweedy’s first solo album of entirely new original material, WARM, is out this Friday, November 30th on dBpm Records. In advance of this occasion, Jeff has shared a new video for “I Know What It’s Like,” a new song off the album, and announced a solo US tour for early 2019.

WARM was produced and recorded entirely by Jeff at Chicago’s now legendary studio, The Loft (with help from some of his usual collaborators – Spencer Tweedy, Glenn Kotche and Tom Schick). Although not an official companion-piece to his newly released memoir, “LET’S GO (SO WE CAN GET BACK): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc.”, the two works are inextricably linked by time (the two were created concurrently) and topic (some of the stories Jeff mined for his book appear in some form on the album, and the lyrics for many songs off the record close out his book).
