Listen "Robert Finley"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 263: Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound in Nashville has been one of the key discovery points for roots music in the past decade. And thanks to them, Robert Finley has become a rare and special thing - a top tier American soul and blues artist who found a worldwide audience in his 60s. He hails from north Louisiana, and his life in music has been tenacious and adaptable and fascinating. Only after he lost most of his sight, forcing him to retire from home construction, did he push music to the fore and connect with a roots music network. Evidence of how great that is can be heard on his third Easy Eye album Black Bayou. This is a magical and unpredictable conversation.
