Embark on a captivating odyssey as we chat with the incomparable Justin Wells, tracing the arc of his musical voyage from the Southern Rock vibes of Fifth on the Floor to his solo achievements. With a frankness that's as refreshing as it is rare, Justin elucidates the nuances of his artistic evolution, favoring heartfelt self-expression over the rigid confines of traditional genres. We navigate the sometimes hazy territories of Americana and Southern Rock, with our guest offering unfiltered insights into the essence of his sound and its place within these musical landscapes.
Reminisce with us about the bands that shaped our youth, an in-depth discussion about the Boss, Bruce Springsteen, and his most impactful records. We dissect Metallica's polarizing "St. Anger," celebrating the courage it takes for artists to experiment and push boundaries. Throughout, Justin's rural roots remain a touchstone, revealing how they've influenced not just his music, but also the shared experiences of our listeners from similar backgrounds.
Wrapping up this melodic journey, we delve into tales of collaboration, spotlighting the alchemy of co-writing and the magical synergy of working with talents like Shooter Jennings. As we tip our hats to unsung heroes behind the scenes, we also share personal stories that inspire tracks like "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and "Three Quarters Gone," painting vivid pictures of family and the working-class life. Finally, we whet your appetite for an anticipated West Coast rendezvous, promising seafood and stories with the one and only Justin Wells—whose genuine talent and authenticity in the music scene are as undeniable as they are celebrated.
