Jeff Tweedy Announces Wilcoless Solo DVD, Wilco Tour
JT's bringing scruffy back

Jeff Tweedy Fresh off news of Golden Smog's "Tweedyless" forthcoming tour comes this joyous bit of Tweedyful news: on October 24, Nonesuch will release Sunken Treasure, a DVD documenting Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy's 2006 solo tour. This live DVD sees Tweedy acoustifying seventeen tunes from the Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, and Loose Fur catalogs. "Burn to Shine" aces Christoph Green and Brendan Canty (Fugazi) directed the film, which culls footage from Seattle, Portland, Eugene, Arcata, and San Francisco gigs.

Along with the live musik, Sunken Treasure also addresses such compelling subject matter as the "isolated bleakness" of touring and the "sense of community" that arises at Tweedy shows, according to Wilco's official website. In true Wilco-loves-the-internet fashion, all who purchase the DVD will be able to download its seventeen tracks for free. Tracklist and Wilco tour dates after the jump.
