Episode 458: Bonny Light Horseman

For their debut album Bonny Light Horseman (Anais Mitchell, Eric Johnson, Josh Kaufman) — a supergroup that is ACTUALLY super — leaned heavily into a shared love of English folk music, updating sometimes centuries-old songs that still feel as relevant today as that did in an EXTREMELY pre-internet world. Wes Covey sits in this week as we explore why this music resonates still, the supreme power of teamwork, and how to talk about practically perfect albums, and more.

PLUS! New music from Durham based flatpicker Alan Barnosky!
