Sunken Treasure compiles solo acoustic performances from Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy recorded live over five nights last February, as Tweedy travelled by bus from Seattle to san Francisco, stopping in theatres, ballrooms and college auditoriums along the way in Portland, Eugene and at Humboldt State University.
It`s essential viewing for Wilco fans and a compellingly straightforward introduction for anyone less familiar with his repertoire. Director Christoph Green keeps the mood intimate and the cinematic flow natural from city to city, from sound-check to show, allowing Tweedy`s words and music to eloquently speak for themselves.
Sunken Treasure beautifully evokes both the solitary quality and the communal feel of life on tour, capturing the rain-soaked roadside vistas seen from Tweedy`s stage bus, the faded beauty of the old theatres he performs in, and the gathering excitement of the fans as they take their seats before the lights go down. On stage, Tweedy establishes an easy-going rapport with his audience that translates well to the video screen. He`s candidly conversational between songs and often very funny, especially when he`s reprimanding some chattering concertgoers.
The set list offers an informal retrospective of Tweedy`s fifteen-year career, encompassing songs from his earliest days in Uncle Tupelo to Wilco`s most recent studio effort, A Ghost Is Born. It also includes material from Wilco`s Mermaid Avenue collaboration with Billy Bragg, in which they set the lyrics of unfinished Woody Guthrie tunes to new music, and his experiments as part of Loose Fur, with Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot co-producer Jim O`Rourke.
Sunken Treasure was produced by Brendan Canty of D.C. hardcore legend Fugazi; with director Green, he created the indie rock DVD series, Burn To Shine. With its acoustic setting, Sunken Treasure serves as both counterpoint and companion piece to Wilco`s 2005 double-disc, Kicking Television: Liv

Jeff Tweedy
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Born: Aug 26, 1967 in Belleville, IL
Genre: Rock
Styles: Alternative Country-Rock, Adult Alternative Pop/Rock
Jeff Tweedy rose to prominence with Uncle Tupelo in the late '80s and early '90s, but with his own group, Wilco, he would step out from the shadow of that legendary alt-country group and his former partner, Jay Farrar.
Belleville, IL, high school friends Tweedy and Farrar started Uncle Tupelo as the Primitives in St. Louis in the mid-'80s. After a run of four albums (including their seminal debut, No Depression), Farrar abruptly quit in 1994 and started Son Volt, who continued Tupelo's spirit of moody and rousing ruralism. Tweedy and the remaining Tupelo members picked up as Wilco. With that group, Tweedy would permanently lay to rest the impression that Farrar had been the sole, dark genius of Uncle Tupelo. (In fact, one theory holds that Farrar disintegrated the group because he was threatened by Tweedy's burgeoning creative role.)
Wilco's first album, A.M. (1995), seemed to cater to the needs of the Uncle Tupelo audience. However, the following two-disc Being There (1996) -- a sprawling achievement that garnered comparisons to the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street -- and the more pop-oriented Summer Teeth (1999) would establish Tweedy as a distinct and formidable force in popular music.
Tweedy has also been part of Golden Smog, an all-star collective who has included members of the Jayhawks, Soul Asylum, and Big Star; appeared on the Handsome Family album Through the Trees; and also appeared on Blue Rodeo leader Jim Cuddy's solo debut, All in Time. In addition, Wilco collaborated with Billy Bragg on the two Mermaid Avenue albums, which set music to the lost lyrics of Woody Guthrie. In 2000 and 2001, Tweedy undertook a series of solo acoustic shows before settling in to work on the next Wilco album. Unfortunately, the band found themselves without a label and decided to tour in spite of their scenario. Eventually Nonesuch stepped in and gave it an early 2002 release while Tweedy also saw some solo material written for the Ethan Hawke vehicle Chelsea Walls become the soundtrack to the film around the same time.
