Kurt Vile has launched a new mostly-covers EP with 'How Lucky', a duet with John Prine.
His 'Speed, Sound, Lonely KV' EP will arrive on 2nd October, featuring covers of John Prine and “Cowboy” Jack Clement, as well as two originals, with the help of Bobby Wood, Dave Roe, and Kenny Malone with Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) and Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Superwolf).
Of the new song, Kurt says: “The truth is John was my hero for a long time when he came into The Butcher Shoppe to recut one of his deepest classics with me. And, man, I was floating and flying and I couldn't hear anything he told me while he was there till after he was gone for the night,” notes Vile in a personal statement that accompanies the record.
