The dynamic Chicago rock band Wilco returns with its 12th studio album, the first of its kind. Now released on double vinyl LP. Cruel Country is the band's exploration of the genre they've often been defined by but, until now, never fully embraced. The double album features 21 Jeff Tweedy-penned tracks, made almost entirely of live takes, created with all six members together in The Loft for the first time since the 2011 release The Whole Love.
