Wilco

What is it about a long drive that can completely change a relationship with a person – or an album? On a recent trip to and from West Virginia I listened to many CDs, but Wilco suddenly became the only music I really wanted to hear. I liked both Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost is Born before, and thought that, between the two of them, you could make one really good album. But now it’s different. I returned on a Monday, and left A Ghost is Born in my CD player for a week and a half. I don’t know how many times I listened to it, just letting it play over and over. Today I put the new Brian Eno in, which I like very much. It also accompanied me on the same trip. But I think Wilco will probably replace it again in a couple of days.
