Wilco was the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night. The band performed "A Magazine Called Sunset" on the show and gave a web-exclusive take on "Cars Can't Escape," both of which are featured on their forthcoming box set of rare studio and live recordings, Alpha Mike Foxtrot. That collection and What's Your 20?, a compilation of essential tracks from the band’s previously released studio recordings, will be released on November 17 (December 1 outside of North America) in conjunction with the band's 20th anniversary. Both are available to pre-order in the Nonesuch Store. Pre-orders of Alpha Mike Foxtrot include an instant download of “A Magazine Called Sunset,” which Wilco's Jeff Tweedy calls “a mysterious omission from an official recorded output and a real attempt at complete pop music.”

Also on The Tonight Show, Tweedy partnered with actor Ewan McGregor to face off against Jimmy Fallon and Charles Barkley in a fierce game of charades. You can watch that and the two performances below.

Wilco begins a sold-out, three-night run at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester tonight. In early December, Wilco will play six, sold-out shows at Chicago’s Riviera Theatre. Set lists will change each night and feature songs from every era of Wilco’s two-decade career. For additional details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

    Rhiannon Giddens reunites with her former Carolina Chocolate Drops bandmate Justin Robinson on What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow, due April 18. Produced by Giddens and Joseph "joebass" DeJarnette, the album features Giddens on banjo and Robinson on fiddle, playing eighteen of their favorite North Carolina tunes. Many were learned from their late mentor, legendary North Carolina Piedmont musician Joe Thompson; one is from another musical hero, the late Etta Baker. Giddens and Robinson recorded outdoors at Thompson’s and Baker’s North Carolina homes, as well as the former plantation Mill Prong House, accompanied by the sounds of nature, including two different broods of cicadas, which had not emerged simultaneously since 1803, creating a true once-in-a-lifetime soundscape. A video of “Hook and Line,” a traditional tune from Joe Thompson’s repertoire and filmed at his home in Mebane, NC, may be seen here. The duo, along with four other string musicians, embarks on Rhiannon Giddens & The Old-Time Revue Tour April 25.
