Listen to Jeff Tweedy Cover Twisted Teens’ “Wild Connection”

Jeff Tweedy is now a card-carrying member of the Twisted Teens fan club. On September 11, the Wilco frontman shared a cover of the New Orleans duo’s “Wild Connection,” which appears on their February album Blame the Clown.

Give it a listen on his Substack. In a short essay about the cover, Tweedy complemented bandleader Caspian Hollywell’s voice, noting that he “had trouble not trying to sing like him.” “One of the reasons I do so many cover songs is that I think it’s good to hear something you like and then see what it feels like to try it on, almost like clothes,” he wrote.

Earlier this year, he wrapped up a headlining tour in support of his album Twilight Override, wrote a New York Times crossword puzzle, and performed on Kimmel twice.

Twisted Teens are gearing up to release their third album of 2026, The Holy Cross Tigers, on November 6. The record follows their July LP Florida Water Blues, and will mark the band’s debut on their new label Sub Pop.
