Tones Behind The Tracks

Artist: Steve Gunn

Album: The Unseen In Between

Steve Gunn is one of those artists who you happen upon one day and discover, with joy, that they have a long back-catalogue of great recordings – but his latest, , is one of the best. Combining the art-house cool of a latter-day Tom Verlaine with thoughtful, introspective songcraft, Gunn is a troubadour for our times. He’s a great electric player, who was a member of fellow Philadelphian Kurt Vile’s band, but the spiritual heart of his music is unplugged guitar. We joined him to talk about how he achieved the rich and and learn what his next studio project will be.
