Jerry Joseph is an American singer/songwriter who has been making records for over 20 years now. He is known and loved by many working musicians for his craft of songwriting, his eccentric lyrics, and his incredible live performances. He recently made an album with Patterson Hood and his band the Drive By Truckers, and it is a standout piece of work. The album also features Jason Isbell recording with the band for the first time since he left Drive By Truckers. I can't say enough how much I love this album and the brave songwriting showcased on it. I got to speak with Jerry recently about this record, his music, and how the album shaped up to be a political statement even though it didn't start that way. Jerry Joseph is a true artist, a brave poet, and an incredible asset to the American music canon. Please enjoy this interview.
