A Ghost Is Born represents another giant step in the evolution of Wilco from alternative country pioneers to genre-bashing sonic daredevils. The Chicago band's second Nonesuch release is full of extended guitar reveries and rave-ups, hushed late night balladry, orchestral pop and beautifully sculpted noise that more than lives up to it;s predecessor, Wilco's watershed 2002 release, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

A Ghost Is Born sees Wilco continuing its collaborative relationship with Jim O'Rourke, who assisted the band in shaping the intricately textured Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The gifted producer/arranger/musician/member-of-Sonic-Youth has in many ways become an essential component in Wilco's music-making process, assisting the band as it distills, and ultimately satisfies, its complex musical goals.

Album also features a 28 page booklet and slipcase, and an enhanced component with live tracks and photographs of the band.
