The intimate story of one of the great American bands of our

time, creators of the controversial masterpiece "Yankee Hotel

Foxtrot" When alt-country heroes-turned-rock-iconoclasts Wilco

handed in their fourth album, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," to the band's

label, Reprise, a division of Warner Brothers, fans looked forward

to the release of another challenging, genre-bending departure from

their previous work. The band aimed to build on previous sales and

critical acclaim with its boldest and most ambitious album yet, but

was instead urged by skittish Reprise execs to make the record more

"radio friendly." When Wilco wouldn't give, they found themselves

without a label. Instead, they used the Internet to introduce the

album to their fans, and eventually sold the record to Nonesuch,

another division of Warner. Wilco was vindicated when the album

debuted at No. 13 on the "Billboard" charts and posted the band's

strongest sales to date. "Wilco: Learning How to Die" traces the

band's story to its deepest origins in Southern Illinois, where

Jeff Tweedy began growing into one of the best songwriters of his

generation. As we witness how his music grew from its punk and

alt-country origins, some of the key issues and questions in our

culture are addressed: How is music of substance created while the

gulf between art and commerce widens in the corporate consolidation

era? How does the music industry make or break a hit? How do

working musicians reconcile the rewards of artistic risk with the

toll it exacts on their personal life? This book was written with

the cooperation of Wilco band members past and present. It is also

fully up to date, covering the latest changes in personnel and the

imminent release of the band's fifth album, "A Ghost Is Born," sure

to be one of the most talked-about albums of 2004.
