Wilco

On November 30, 2016, Jeff Tweedy, frontman of Wilco, took to the stage at the Vic Theatre in Chicago, collaborating with Daniel Johnston for a heartfelt rendition of "Walking the Cow." At this time, Wilco had recently released their album "Schmilco" in September 2016, showcasing their introspective and diverse sound. This live performance not only highlighted Tweedy's connection to Johnston’s deeply personal songwriting but also underscored a moment of artistic camaraderie, as they both navigated themes of mental health in their work. Interestingly, this collaboration aligns with nonprofit efforts; the video coincides with the #HIHOWAREYOUPLEDGE campaign, which promotes mental health awareness—an endeavor both artists support. The show at the Vic Theatre offered a cozy yet electric atmosphere, fitting for an evening centered around such poignant music.
