Today's episode with Kentucky's Adam Chaffins. Chaffins released an excellent album called Some Things Won't Last last February. Chaffins' soulful vocals and bass-playing style (he's an accomplished bass player as well with plenty of work on some of your favorites in recent memory) are really the heart and soul of the album. There's a boldness to both--it's often a loose, simple sway that's organic and warm. Songs like "Further Away" and his take on the country classic "I'm Over You," are vibrant, yet gentle while "Doorway" and "I Might Be Wrong" lean further into infectious, crisp indie rock moods. All the while, there's an innate haunting nature to Chaffins' Some Things Won't Last. 

On this one, we talk about recording Some Things Won't Last over a handful of years, creating those specific moods and bridging them over various sessions, his Kentucky homeland, recording on various albums with some of Nashville's finest, his latest single, the excellent "Now I Don't Know," and staying busy and creative during 2020.
