Illinois (styled
Sufjan Stevens Invites You To: Come On Feel the Illinoise on the cover; sometimes written as
Illinoise) is a 2005
concept album by American
indie folk songwriter
Sufjan Stevens. It is his fifth studio album, and features songs referencing places, events, and persons related to the U.S. state of
Illinois.
Illinois is Stevens' second based on a U.S. state—part of a planned series of fifty that began with the 2003 album
Michigan that Stevens has since acknowledged was a gag.
