As we head into a very tenuous 2022, maybe it will help you to know about a great album that was released in 2021! 

Scott Hirsch’s Windless Day is a fantastic record for stepping outside yourself a little bit. As Scott talks about in this episode of the Red Line Roots podcast, he thinks deeply about the songs on his records in relationship to each other, to create a coherent experience. In an era of singles and streaming, Scott prefers to think about how the album will be on vinyl–not as a vinyl snob, but as a creative expression of how to invite listeners in, how to take them someplace over the course of sides A and B. I loved getting to chat with Scott about Windless Day and his creative process. I hope you enjoy the conversation and get a chance to spin this album as we kiss 2021 goodbye!
