Like many, we are suckers for the songwriting of Jeff Tweedy (Wilco, etc.).  Tweedy’s new father-son ensemble Tweedy released its initial album, the critically-acclaimed (natch) Sukierae, on Tuesday and celebrated with a release show at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music.  The relateds were backed by their touring band (Jim Elkington, Darin Gray, and Liam Cunningham. Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius), along with Wilco guitarist  Nels Cline who came out for the encore.  Père Tweedy also performed solo at times.  The setlist (holy setlist!!–see below) also included Wilco and Uncle Tupelo songs.  The first song, Nobody Dies Anymore, is worth the price of admission alone and a purchase of Sukierae HERE.
