on may 15th, wilco will add another chapter to the band's illustrious career. during the interim period three album tracks have appeared on the internet and provided below are the tracks available for download. as a set the songs hint that the direction of the new album will be an extension from a ghost is born and sadly not much in the way of summerteeth, which was a personal favorite. seriously, what happened to crafting tunes like i'm always in love or a shot in the arm? i know this sounds as though i don't like these new crop of wilco offerings but i do enjoy them. either way isn't what made me fall in love with the band's music but it is by far the best track thus far. if a ghost is born was your favorite wilco album then this could be your new favorite.
you are my face begins as a ballad before plodding along as a mid-tempo rocker complete with organ flourishes that replicate the mid-sixties dylan sound.
-you are my face
walken starts with a classic am radio feel that could easily fit on a harry nilsson album that turns into a guitar jam.
-walken
either way has proved to be my early favorite. it is a perfectly executed ballad featuring tweedy in prime songwriter mode and features the best guitar solo in wilco history.
-either way
