On Episode 163, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Simon Flory. The Fort Worth-based Flory is releasing his latest album, Haul These Blues Away. Built around Flory's gift for country narrative, short story character sketches, and Flory's rural vernacular, Haul These Blues Away is an unassuming charmer--unassuming only because Flory's more interested in harkening back to those old school country stories and ramblers and less so in the idea of that brand as a form of nostalgia. Songs like "If My Mule Had Wings," "Have Your Adventure," and "Learning How to Talk" are unpretentious, earnest, and welcoming in nature while "The More You Talk (The Less I Hear)" is a standout favorite for the early year. 

During this one, we talk about traveling the US as a touring musician, being "stuck" at home this past year, how the music industry has changed and shifted these past 12 months, and writing and recording Haul These Blues Away.

This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol. In addition, this episode is sponsored by The Blue Light Live and Hot Damn Coffee.
