Jeff Tweedy - Love Is The King

 

New solo album from Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy!

Includes "Love Is The King" and "Guess Again"

Out on dBpm Records, Love Is The King, a "beautifully honest ode to love and hope," is the follow-up to 2018's Warm and 2019's Warmer, and comes on the heels of Tweedy's second book, How To Write One Song: Loving the Things We Create and How They Love Us Back, out October 13 via Penguin Random House's Dutton.

"At the beginning of the lockdown I started writing country songs to console myself. Folk and country type forms being the shapes that come most easily to me in a comforting way. 'Guess Again' is a good example of the success I was having at pushing the world away, counting my blessings — taking stock in my good fortune to have love in my life," comments Tweedy. "A few weeks later things began to sound like 'Love Is The King' — a little more frayed around the edges with a lot more fear creeping in. Still hopeful but definitely discovering the limits of my own ability to self-soothe."
