Songs of Our Lives #87: The Modern Folk

A man lying on grass with flowers, smiling broadly, accompanied by a dog beside him. The image is framed with the title 'Songs of Our Lives' and 'The Modern Folk' at the bottom.

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s The Modern Folk (aka J Moss)! I keep getting pulled back to his new album with the Modern Folk Electronic Ensemble, and that felt like a perfect excuse to get him on the show. Good times were had! We talk about starting off with Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch’s devastating abilities, drug-fueled frenzy from Fleetwood Mac, going to bat for The Eagles, Lil Uzi Vert, Beefheart, Chance the Rapper, Twin Peaks, and so much more!
