[upbeat music] And that's the show for today.

This podcast is produced in-house by The Southern Fork, and the theme music is the song Memphis Bound from Songs for Rosetta by Jimbo Mathus and his Knockdown Society, released in 1997, and including violin on this track from Andrew Bird.

So I'm grateful to share their sound with you through this show.

And so in more recent years, I've done things like...

Over the years, I also toured a lot with Jimbo Mathis back in the earlier 2000s.

recorded on a record with him called Knockdown South, which is just now about to be reissued on a label called Near Miss Records.

And they're putting that out on vinyl.

So it's a real honor to be part of that.

We just put out earlier this year, back in May, a second record.

Kenny and I played on with the Black Keys called Peaches and Jimbo Mathis also joined us for that one so he's on there as well and I've done some touring Kenny Brown and I toured with the Black Keys for the Delta Cream record And I was on tour with them for the Peaches record earlier this year, but I suffered a bout of kidney stones on the road and had to jump ship, unfortunately.

So the rest of the tour, the guy who was playing rhythm guitar in the group, he switched over to bass and stayed with that.
