The Story Behind: Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Ep 181

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Wilco was on the cusp of mainstream success with a brand new album when their label dropped them. They turned things around and ended up with an indie classic. The team discusses precious vocals, noisy artsy production, and smoking while in the studio.
