I have two new interviews out . Both are in Vintage Guitar magazine and both are with incredible musicians whom have really made a mark on American music.

In the May issue of the magazine is my talk with Sun recording artist Sonny Burgess. I have been listening to Sonny’s music since I first found a re-issue on the Charly label. (Thanks again, Stray Cats, for getting me into rockabilly

Sonny Burgess

 and its myriad offshoots.) Sonny was a great subject, warm, easy to talk to, and full of funny, entertaining, and mind-blowing anecdotes. Eventually I will post his full interview here. 

In the June issue is my piece on Gary Louris, a guitarist and songwriter best know for his worked with the beloved, belated, Minnesota folk-rock band The Jayhawks. Gary I felt a little more in awe of when we spoke. Also, his publicist told me to keep it to 30 minutes exactly. Combined, I may have conducted the interview in less than my normal,  casual manner. But, the piece came out well. Gary is out on tour right now with his longtime partner Mark Olson.

I’m very grateful to have had the chance to speak to these two musicians. Please check it out, available on newsstands now. Thanks.
