My Favorite Album With Jeremy Dylan

Canada's finest exponent of both kinds of music, punk rocker turned idiosyncratic Americana singer-songwriter Corb Lund, joins me in an Irish pub to talk his favorite album, the Western classic 'Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs' by Marty Robbins. Corb talks about how he discovered the album as a child, the balance between reverence of the past and subversive innovation in roots music, how Marty Robbins mainstream success was linked to John Wayne, which of his songs have been directly inspired by Marty Robbins, how he comes up with album titles and how working with producer Dave Cobb on his latest album 'Things That Can't Be Undone' changed his approach in the studio. Check back soon for our 100th episode special! My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album’s influence on their own music.Jeremy Dylan is
