Buck Meek is here for a talk about his charming, confessional new album, The Mirror, coming up in Wimberley, Texas and people’s misconceptions of the Lone Star State, the vibrancy of transient college towns, how his grandmother’s death and caring for his grandfather galvanized his family and inspired aspects of The Mirror, writing songs about communication, teaching, language, speech, parenting, and family, pondering duality, mid-life, and overcoming societal inhibitions, a unique recording studio set-up, ambience and intuitive expression, being a participant in Bob Dylan’s Shadow Kingdom film and recording project, upcoming solo and Big Thief tour dates, other future plans, and much more.
