Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the fourth
album by
Chicago-based rock band
Wilco. The album was completed in 2001, but
Reprise Records, a
Warner Music Group label, refused to release it. Wilco acquired the rights to the album when they subsequently left the label. In September 2001, Wilco
streamed the entire album for free on their website. Wilco signed with
Nonesuch Records (another Warner label) in November of that year, and the album was officially released on April 23, 2002.
