#257 - Chris Simpson (Mountain Time, Mineral, The Gloria Record) Mar 10, 2025

Show notes

Today we have back for a 3rd time, Chris Simpson. He recently released a new Mountain Time album called “Dream Homes” on Spartan Records. We talk about the album and really go deep on the making of and the artwork.

We also talk about death, planning, and doing things out of love.

Lastly you can tell we’ve spoken a lot as it’s just a lot of jokes and sorta feels like we just recorded one of many conversations together over the years.

I could not be more proud to speak with Chris and know he’s still making music. It’s a gift.
