Wilco’s Best of 2018

Wilco’s best-of-2018 list is one of our favorites, and not only because Big Ears 2019 performers Lonnie Holley, Rafiq Bhatia, Mountain Man, and Bill Frisell (twice!) show up on it. There’s Jim O’Rourke’s tremendous Steamroom series, Gyan Riley, Julian Lage, and Low—and so much more to explore. Before 2019 gets going too much, we’re going to check in on what we missed from this great index.
