About
The themes of death, depression and time’s wear and tear don’t
typically attract the masses, even if the label does say
Warm. However, Jeff Tweedy is the man you’d want consoling
you if you’ve got a case of the winter blues, he is one of the most
engaging songwriters of his generation. Since the late 1980’s, the
leader of the group Wilco has continued to amaze us with his
heartfelt lyrics that discuss personal struggles - with a touch of
humour and wit, of course. Tweedy has been working here and there
with others, but since 2010 he has often worked with one of the
great queens of soul, Mavis Staples, whom he produces for and with
whom he co-writes (The albums You Are Not Alone in 2010
and One True Vine in 2013). In 2014, he released an album
in a duo with his drummer son Spencer (Sukierae). In 2017
when he finally released a record in his own name, Together at
Last, it was a false start to his solo career since it was
composed exclusively of old Wilco songs and his Golden Smog and
Loose Fur projects, which he revisited in acoustic form.
With Warm, Jeff Tweedy is completely in command and the
repertoire is 100% new, yet still reflects his familiar, American
style. He manages to find, once again, the perfect balance between
bitter and sweet and impresses us both with his pure melodies
(I Know What It’s Like) or as a noisy rocker (The Red
Brick). When he ends the song Some Birds with the
sentence: I break bricks with my heart, only a fool would call
it art Tweedy proves why he is one of the best rock poets of
the era. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
