About Kevin Morby:
Kevin Morby released his beloved solo debut Harlem River in 2013 and has released a full-length nearly every year since. His latest, 2017’s City Music, is a collection Kevin says “is a mix-tape, a fever dream, a love letter dedicated to those cities that I cannot get rid of, to those cities that are all inside of me.”
About William Tyler:
“William Tyler knows the South — as a crucible of American histories and cultures, an entity capable of expansive beauty and incomprehensible violence, often in the same beat — as his native place, the place that holds him and that he runs from. In the music of William Tyler, the South is not apart from America; the South is America condensed.
“William’s latest album, Goes West, marks a sort of narrowing of focus for his music; it sounds as though he found a way to point himself directly towards the rich and bittersweet emotional center of his music without being distracted by side trips. Perhaps this is down to the fact that William only plays acoustic guitar on the album, a clear and conscious decision considering that he is one of Nashville’s great electric guitarists. The band that performs Goes West alongside William—including guitarists Meg Duffy and Bill Frisell, bassist and producer Brad Cook, keyboardist James Wallace, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, and engineer Tucker Martine—is the best and most sympathetic group of players that William could have assembled to play these songs.” — M.C. Taylor
