 The two are holed up in Wilco's loft studio this month recording, reports Billboard. Tweedy's Jack White-ish decision to record a genre legend should prove to be a fruitful one, especially considering the addition of vocalists Nora O'Connor and Kelly Hogan, and its release later this year on the happenin' Anti- Records. As far as Wilco goes, their latest album, Wilco (the Album), has been nominated for a Grammy and the band have added more tour dates to an already busy 2010 schedule. These 16 East coast dates are being called "An Evening with Wilco," and will feature the band playing songs from all of their albums, and, according to the group, "extended, varied sets." Head here for all the band's 2010 dates, which include some Canadian shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
