Wilco recording new album, done with major labels

This one comes right from the horse's mouth. Wilco founder Jeff Tweedy, one of the pioneers of alt.county from his days with Uncle Tupelo, tells Billboard Magazine that Wilco will hit the studio soon for work on a new album. Don't expect any response from the major lables, though. Tweedy says the lack of interest is mutual

"...there wasn't that much interest in promoting Wilco. we learned how to do it with what we had available to us... We've practically gone door to door... we did have that option [to start our own label] back then, but the way people were consuming music wasn't quite there yet... we (decided) to stream our record and continue to tour at the time because we mostly wanted people to hear our new songs and be excited about them..."
