Shane Parish - Songs of Our Lives #35

Explicit

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Shane Parish on the show. When it comes to modern guitar gods, Shane is right up there for me. I am constantly amazed by not just what he can play, but HOW he plays - there is so much subtlety, emotional depth, and joy in it that it becomes infectious. His new album, “Repetoire,” is an absolute triumph. After we get into that and his love of transcribing music for solo guitar, we go all out with one of Dylan’s most brutal songs, loving life with Nina Simone, Fugazi doing Fugazi things, Coltrane going immortal, Nick Drake and courtship, and finally - FINALLY - someone picks THE answer for which cover song is better than the original. Oh, and there’s loads more, too!
