Tweedy Jeff – Love Is The King 2021


Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy releases his new solo album “Love Is The King.” The album is flanked by the release of his second book titled “”How To Write A Song””, which was released on October 13.

The album was recorded this April during the lockdown at Wilco’s own “The Loft” studio in Chicago. After Wilco’s North American tour had to be interrupted due to Corona, Jeff Tweedy locked himself in the studio with his sons Spencer and Sam in an attempt to escape the uncertainty and anxiety. Creativity and music became “comfort food” and so a song was created every day until the three of them had a complete album in their hands.
