"Wilco makes an understated Magnum Opus. On Cruel Country, the Chicago band ponders a genre and a nation."
- New York Times
"Wilco goes country as only it can on Cruel Country, an immensely rich 21-track deep dive into America that is a raw and engaging take on our tumultuous times."
- ABC News
Indie rock/alt-country legends Wilco release their 12th studio album Cruel Country. The double-album features twenty-one songs written by frontman Jeff Tweedy, primarily tracked live-off-the-floor at The Loft, the band's recording studio in Chicago. The sessions included all six Wilco members together in The Loft for the first time since The Whole Love (2011). With minimal overdubbing, Tweedy compared their recording approach on Cruel Country to that which they last employed on Sky Blue Sky (2007).
