Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy is writing a new memoir, described as "funny, disarming and honest."

While it is currently untitled, Penguin Random House imprint Dutton has acquired the Grammy-winning musician's book for a reported mid-six figure sum, according to the Associated Press.

"I have stories to tell," Tweedy said in a statement by the publisher. "And I'd like for this book to be a combination of those stories about my experiences, and maybe a window into one person's creative process, as well as some of what I've seen working with other artists in my current and former bands, in the studio, on the road, in my basement with my sons and more."

According to Dutton, Tweedy's memoir will include tales from throughout his storied career as well as his thoughts on the evolving music industry.
