Many of the songs from Sky Blue Sky were introduced during Wilco's 2006 tour in support of their previous album, A Ghost is Born, including "Walken" and "On and On and On."

The album was recorded from November of 2006 to January of 2007 at The Loft in Irving Park, Chicago, the same location where the band recorded their seminal Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Unlike that album, the work done by longtime Wilco producer Jim O'Rourke was limited on Sky Blue Sky.
