John Cale made rock history as a founding member of The Velvet Underground in the 1960s. He's also a composer, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He's long been a part of the musical avant-garde, working with the first of the so-called minimalist composers, and later with people like Brian Eno. He sings and can play guitar, bass, keyboards and viola. 

Cale dropped by with his band in 2012 to perform songs from his album Shifty Adventures In Nookie Wood and to talk about his days with The Velvet Underground and working with Andy Warhol.
