Having outgrown former band Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedy put together Wilco, described variously as ‘The finest rock band in the world’ (Independent On Sunday) and ‘One of the best live bands in existence’ (Q). Five years ago Wilco produced their fourth album ‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’, but it was deemed too experimental by their record label, who refused to release it. Tweedy found an independent company, and the album went on to be wildly successful. Their next record, ‘A Ghost Is Born’, won two Grammy awards, so in the band vs. record label game, a rare victory for the band.
