Excerpt

Wilco has made the NPR listeners' list, both for Best Album, Wilco (the album), and twice again for Best Song with "Wilco (the song)" and "One Wing." "One thing was clear," says Bob Boilen, host of NPR's All Songs Considered, "that 2009 has been one of the strongest years for new music in recent memory." Fresh on the heels of their successful summer tour of the US, the band has announced a number of new dates in the country for this October.

NPR asked its listeners to vote for the year's best in music so far, and Wilco has made the list, both for Best Album and Best Song. Wilco (the album), their recent Nonesuch release, made the Top Five for albums, and two of its tracks, "Wilco (the song)" and "One Wing," are on the list for Best Song. "One thing was clear," says Bob Boilen, host of NPR's All Songs Considered, "that 2009 has been one of the strongest years for new music in recent memory." See the complete list and listen to the tracks at npr.org.

Fresh on the heels of their successful summer tour of the States, the band has announced a number of new dates in the country (plus one in Canada) for this October. The concerts follow an August tour of Europe and precede more European tour dates in November. Below is a list of the recently added dates.
