Two-time Grammy winners Wilco stopped by the Washington NPR studios for a live performance and to talk with Neal Conan about the band's latest album -- A Ghost Is Born.

Lead singer-songwriter Jeff Tweedy took callers' questions and spoke about how the band built a successful career with little radio play and -- at one point -- no record label.

Guests:

Jeff Tweedy, lead singer/songwriter

Nels Cline, lead guitar

John Stirratt, bass guitar, backing vocals

Glenn Kotche, drums

Mikael Jorgensen, piano/keyboards

Pat Sansone, multi-instrumentalist
