Wilco Cruel Country

4 stars out of 5 -- "That Wilco have decided to lean into the most American of musical styles at this particular point in time is no coincidence; the title CRUEL COUNTRY refers to both Wilco's take on the musical genre and America itself as it devolves further and further into unrest - to the band's evident dismay."
Paste (magazine) - "[I]t's a document of what a super-skilled songwriter and his super-skilled band are capable of when they strip away the distractions and focus on doing what they do best: composing, playing, singing and recording great songs."
Clash (Magazine) - "That ambient sound -- the sound of freedom and loneliness, of abandonment in the best and worst senses of the word -- is a stand-in for what makes Wilco's take on country-adjacent music so uniquely brilliant."
