My guest this week is singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Baiman.
We chat about Rachel's new record Common Nation of Sorrow, how she made the transition from being an instrumentalist to being a songwriter, how she re-imagined a little known John Hartford song for the new record, why it can be good to include covers on your records as a songwriter and much, much more.
This was such an interesting conversation. I hope you get as much out of it as I did!
