No Comments on Ep. #1135: Jake Xerxes Fussell

Jake Xerxes Fussell returns to discuss his new album, The Old Beloved Path, us meeting up at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival just moments before I took my daughter to see AC/DC, Jake’s limited experiences at big shows beyond Bob Dylan’s and a band he’d love to see one day, a lengthy discussion about “Rock Island Line” and The Compleat Beatles, contemplating aging and transience, the historical implications of musical interpretation and adaptation, why Jake would rather write a book than a song, working with Ben Whiteley, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.
