Wilco has been in Europe all month stopping at the major summer festivals on the Continent and in the UK. Just this past weekend, the band played three festivals, concluding with the Green Man Festival at the bucolic Glanusk Park in Brecon Beacons, Wales, on Sunday, part of what The Independent called a "spot on" line-up. Reviewer Elisa Bray praises the band's "masterful performing," concluding: "The guitar interplay between Nels Cline and Jeff Tweedy in 'Impossible Germany' proved why they are one of the best live acts around." The Daily Mirror credits "a bold and largely successful booking policy" on the festival's part that "saw Wilco justify their Sunday close-out on the main stage with a spunky rock 'n' roll set."

There's more rock 'n' roll to be made in the UK tonight, when Wilco plays The Troxy in London with Portland folk rockers Blitzen Trapper opening. It's the first of three sold-out club shows that round out the European tour, with two nights to follow at Vicar Street in Dublin on Thursday and Friday. It's Wilco's last scheduled tour date till the fall, when the band hits the road again for a US tour, with Liam Finn opening, beginning at the University of Iowa on October 1.

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
