We have a great conversation to distract you from the coronavirus news. Ken recorded this episode with Vance Gilbert back in February, around the release of his fantastic new record, Good Good Man. I have long been a fan of Vance’s work, and if you haven’t checked out his stuff before, the best place to start is with the song “Old White Men.” It is funny, it’ll make you cry, it is right there with the best John Prine songs. And while I readily make that comparison to the late, great John Prine, Vance is also someone very hard to pin down in a musical genre. His work draws on so many different traditions and he is irreverent enough to break all of those traditions’ rules and mores and make up his own way of communicating. And it’s special. The new record has so many gems on it and it was a great pleasure to chat with Vance. https://vancegilbert.com/
