With Wilco, the song comes first. The background vocals, set against a jazzy organ and piano riff, are slightly reminiscent of the Beatles but move beyond the Beatles in harmonic depth and arrangement. Such is the genius of this album, the ability to meld old with new, the ability to experiment and still pay tribute. Wilco Back to the top. The recital will start at 8 p.m. today, on the Jordan Stage in Sheslow Auditorium in Old Main.
Admission is free.
