It was a great honor to rave on about one of the greatest live albums ever with Craig Finn of The Hold Steady. The conversation, like the Caledonia Soul Orchestra, went into the night, so this is part one of our conversation. Part two coming very soon. Be sure to check out Craig's solo records and podcasts as well!

This conversation was so captivating and enjoyable that Kyle and I went extra long, thus this being part one of two parts exploring the outside-of-time-capsule that is Veedon Fleece. Kyle Fite is a visionary artist/mystic writer and good friend. His latest book is titled Beyond The Golden Omen. Please do yourself a favor and look him up!

Doing an episode like this is one of the reasons I chose this journey in the first place. To uncover hidden magic in previously overlooked or maligned places like Hard Nose the Highway. Van rarely performed any material off of it and critics savaged it, but does it really deserve the scorn?Irish filmmaker/writer/artist Eamonn Dillon and I disassemble this work to find it's bloody and beautiful beating heart.

This is the first episode of an occasional sideline from the catalog, into the live bootleg arena. This recording is widely available all over the internet and was the first non-catalog live release I heard of his. I believe it nearly equals "It's Too Late To Stop Now..." and is the single boot I return to most. Joining me for this discussion of the show is return guest, Colton Cerny. Although this is his second appearance, it was recorded almost a year ago (which may become evident with our references to Van's then most current music, etc). Enjoy!

Ken Samuels returns to discuss one of the Mount Rushmore albums of Van's catalog. This was a fun one!

Thank you for listening. Please go buy yourself a copy of Hymns To The Silence by Peter Mills. You'll thank me!

This episode, musician Colton Cerny and I discuss the third album of Van's initial mainstream trilogy of releases. That's right, we go deep into the history, players and songwriting of this classic album. It's a damn shame its's not available on any streaming sites. Let me know if you agree with me and Colton or not. Enjoy!

Please enjoy this continuation of my conversation with Van Trumpeter/Musical Director Matt Holland. Next episode coming soon, exploring Tupelo Honey!
