Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy Shares Details About Third Book
Jeff Tweedy, the lead singer of the renowned band Wilco, has just announced the release date of his third book, “WORLD WITHIN A SONG: Music That Changed My Life and Life That Changed My Music.” This highly anticipated book is set to be published on November 7, 2023, by Dutton, and is available for pre-order now.
Promising to be a heartwarming and inspiring read, “WORLD WITHIN A SONG” sees Jeff Tweedy open up about the fifty songs that have shaped his life and how music has intertwined with his own personal experiences. The songs he has selected span different genres and decades and include works by artists such as The Replacements, Mavis Staples, The Velvet Underground, Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Dolly Parton, and Billie Eilish.
In addition to discussing other artists’ songs, Tweedy also shares his thoughts on his own songs and his “Rememories” – short stories from his childhood and early years as a musician. This book promises to be a disarming and heartening mix of memories, music, and inspiration that will provide readers with a unique and intimate look into Tweedy‘s life.
“I want to talk about songs that gave me permission to be creative…to be myself. To say something that was hard to say. I’ll be telling stories from my life, focusing on a true-to-memory style of how it really felt to me, how I experienced things emotionally. And then I want to talk about music in the same way. I want to talk about music in a way that it rarely gets talked about. I want to talk about the world within the song,” explains Tweedy.
Jeff Tweedy has already established himself as one of America’s most admired performers and songwriters, and with the release of his third book, he continues to expand his legacy as a thoughtful and insightful writer. “WORLD WITHIN A SONG” promises to be a must-read for anyone who loves music and the impact it has on our lives.
