NEW YORK (Billboard) - Roots-rock band Wilco is at London's Abbey Road Studios mastering the follow-up album to its acclaimed "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."
"A Ghost Is Born," due June 8 via Nonesuch, was recorded in New York and will feature contributions from multi-instrumentalist Leroy Bach, who left the group last month.
"Foxtrot," which was released by Nonesuch in 2002 after the Jeff Tweedy-led group ended its relationship with Warner Bros., debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200. It has sold 435,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, making it the Chicago-based act's top-selling album to date.
The group is planning to tour in support of "Ghost." The only dates confirmed so far are May 2 at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., and during the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn., in mid-June.
Hopefully I can catch them on tour. Haven't seen them since 1996. Also:
NEW YORK (Billboard) - With momentum high after a pair of Grammy wins for Warren Zevon (news)'s final studio album, "The Wind" (Artemis), fans might expect that a full slate of archival material from the late artist is on the way. Not so, according to his son, Jordan Zevon.
Bummer. Someday, hopefully.
