Kurt Vile – Speed Sound Lonely KV EP (CD)
Product Details
Kurt Vile has long worn his love of classic American songwriting on his sleeve, but this EP finds him going straight to the source. John Prine, who passed away in April 2020, cast a long shadow over Nashville's songwriting community, and hearing Vile step into that world with such unguarded reverence gives this collection a weight that goes well beyond a typical covers project.
Available physically January 15th, Kurt Vile's Speed, Sound, Lonely KV (EP) was recorded and mixed in sporadic sessions that spanned four years at The Butcher Shoppe studio in Nashville, TN. It includes five songs covers of John Prine and 'Cowboy' Jack Clement as well as two originals and was recorded alongside a cast of local heavies like Bobby Wood, Dave Roe, Kenny Malone and Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Superwolf). Most importantly, it features what KV has called 'Probably the single most special musical moment in my life' a duet with the late John Prine on the songwriter s well-loved tune, 'How Lucky.'
