Wilco’s “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” Soul/60s cover

Monday, May 10th, 2010

For all you Wilco fans out there, you HAVE to listen to this awesome cover of “I am trying to break your heart” from their 2001 album Yankee Foxtrot Hotel.

I thought the cinematography of the video was excellent and the re-arrangement of the track to fit into the soul/60s feel was really well done. I love discovering amazing and creative genre-jumping covers like this.

When I heard this track on youtube, I was hooked. I thought Ruby sang really well and that the saxophone arrangement was spot on! Good stuff!
