Wilcoworld Radio on ... now

Yep - hadn't heard a single Frank Turner song, and then I saw him open for Isbell last year. Instantly became a huge fan.

Just got tickets to see him in June -- he's touring with Lucero and The Menzingers.

I'll check out Hubbard.

 

I don't know. I think the lyrics describe a relationship that's hard but still worth working for, and I like the juxtaposition of the slow lyrical burn with the all-out jam that happens after.

And I think Tweedy is one of the best writers -- or at least was, until he got straight -- in modern music. I Am Trying to Break Your Heart is the truth.

 

Turner won me over with a performance at a festival about five years ago.

 

I think it's actually been posted here before but here's a short clip of Jeff Tweedy talking about he accidentally ran into Jay Farrar after ten years of not speaking. In Mexico, of all places.
