IMPOSSIBLE GERMANY, UNLIKELY JAPAN

“Where ever you go, wherever you land.”
“This was still new to me. I wouldn’t understand.”

There are great Wilco songs, and then there is “Impossible Germany”, arguably one of the best from anyone over the past ten years. The album it appears on, Sky Blue Sky, was released in May 2007 and cut to vinyl by Robert Ludwig. It sounds fantastic.

The guitarist on this cut is Nels Cline, voted the 82nd greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine. The cover artwork for Sky Blue Sky is a photograph by Manuel Presti titled “Sky Chase.” It was made in Rome, Italy, and helped Presti win the 2005 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
