Mix Tape: WILCO: I AM TRYING TO BREAK YOUR HEART

Watch Trailer Director: Sam Jones

Before Wilco was considered a “marketable” band, their fourth album faced heavy scrutiny from their record label before its release. When they were told to make wholesale changes or else they would be dropped from Reprise Records, Wilco faced a life-changing and potentially career-ending decision: stand by their work or make compromise? I Am Trying to Break Your Heart captures the decision and the aftermath for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which Rolling Stone now calls a classic rock album.
