Wilco este o trupă americană de alternative rock înființată în 1994 la Chicago, care de la debut a câștigat respectul criticii muzicale și un public loial. Singurii membri care activează în formație de la început sunt Jeff Tweedy și John Stirratt.
Albumul Yankee Hotel Foxtrot din 2002 este al patrulea material de studio al trupei și o piatră de hotar în evoluția ei. Înregistrările au avut loc începând cu sfârșitul anului 2000 și au fost complicate – trupa a gestionat o schimbare de tobar, dezacorduri privind aranjamentele pieselor și tensiuni între membri. Cu toate acestea, până la începutul anului 2001 albumul a fost în mare parte finalizat. Casa de discuri originală Reprise Records a refuzat să îl lanseze, astfel, în toamna anului 2001, trupa și-a publicat singură albumul pe site-ul propriu, iar în aprilie 2002 l-a lansat oficial la Nonesuch Records. Discul a adus un sound mai atmosferic și experimental decât lucrările anterioare, orientându-se spre art rock și indie rock. Dintre cele unsprezece piese se remarcă I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Jesus, Etc., Heavy Metal Drummer sau Ashes of American Flags.
Pe album a debutat tobarul Glenn Kotche; alături de el și de membrii permanenți Tweedy și Stirratt, formula a fost completată de chitaristul Leroy Bach și claviaturistul Mikael Jorgensen.
