I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart A Film About Wilco is a blackandwhite documentary film by Sam Jones which follows the American altcountry rock band Wilco through the creation and distribution of their fourth studio album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The film provides insight into the politics of bands and their record labels, as well as an inside look at Wilco during the creation of what many critics describe as a landmark album. The title of the film shares its name with the first track of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

With a completed album and no contractual obligations to Reprise, Wilco made the album available to download on their website. Awareness of the new album became apparent and Wilcos profile was rising. In response, another record label, Nonesuch Records, offered Wilco a new record contract. Nonesuch Records is a division of Warner Music Group, like Reprise, so Wilco were essentially paid twice for the album by the same record company.Other scenes depicted the breakdown of the relationship between members Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett, and Tweedys debilitating migraines. ........
