Our friends in the rock-band, Wilco, are busy guys. In the last year they launched their own label (dBpm) and released their latest album (The Whole Love) on it - this weekend they are kicking off this year's Newport Folk Festival and playing at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. Next Tuesday they're playing a benefit concert at MASS MoCA - where - for the past two summers - they held the Solid Sound Festival (they plan to return with Solid Sound 3 in June of 2013). They night after the benefit they have a concert at The Bushnell in Hartford, CT. Here, Jeff Tweedy joins us for our annual "State of the Wilco" conversation.
