Wilco‘s bandleader Jeff Tweedy is working on a memoir, and it’s going to be awesome. Dealing with both personal and professional matters, the book will detail Tweedy’s impressions of the music industry and the puzzle piece of Wilco’s involvement. No title or release date have been announced, so for now we must wait….though we know it will undoubtedly be worth it.
“I have stories to tell, and I’d like for this book to be a combination of those stories about my experiences, and maybe a window into one person’s creative process, as well as some of what I’ve seen working with other artists in my current and former bands, in the studio, on the road, in my basement with my sons and more.” – Jeff Tweedy (via Rolling Stone)
