Show notes

This week we talk to country singer Chris Canterbury (new album Quaalude Lullabies out now!) about one of his major musical influences, the late great Townes Van Zandt! In addition to adding the storytelling classic "Pancho & Lefty" to our Ultimate Country Playlist, we discuss Van Zandt's growing legacy, using sparse production to best serve a song, and the power and attraction of sad songs.

Chris Canterbury, our first-non comedian guest, is a singer-songwriter in Nashville by way of his native Louisiana. Canterbury's new album is Quaalude Lullabies, a nine track collection of mostly sad songs that offers on-the-nose lyrical phrasing, subtlety loose production, and an honest insight into razor-edge topics like addiction, depression, and loneliness. Danny and Tyler both highly recommend this new album!
We also have some recommendations for Townes Van Zandt songs, for anyone who is new to Townes and would like a place to start:

Rex’s Blues
To Live is To Fly
Loretta
Waitin’ Around to Die
Dead Flowers
Two Hands
I’ll Be Here in the Morning
If I Needed You
