Cats are high-strung animals, Molly.
Jim JordanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's why they wind up as E-strings on violins.
Jim JordanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I know a fiddler once tried to play at a dog show.
Jim JordanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was awful.
Joe StumpGUEST
So it, that's a great record.
Joe StumpGUEST
But anyway, the new re- my new solo record is Lord of the Strings.
Joe StumpGUEST
I'm running out of badass titles at this point.
ChristianHOST

Joe StumpGUEST
You know? You know, so I'm like, "Oh, Lord, uh, you know, I, I, you know, uh, uh, Lord of the Strings," you know? I, and where did I get that from? Obviously, I don't e- I never even saw any of the Lord of the Rings.

Joe StumpGUEST
Like, you know, any time I release a single or, you know, off of the record, I'll release like a, like a full on play along where I'm legit playing the tune, you know? So, so I've already done two play alongs to the, to two of the tunes on the record.
David EllenbogenHOST
It'll come out in just a day or two after this gets aired.
David EllenbogenHOST
It's called Rite of Strings.
David EllenbogenHOST
Uh, it's co-led with the, uh, great Peruvian bass player, the Grammy Award-winning musician, Edward Perez.
David EllenbogenHOST
And, um, yeah, I hope you'll check that out as well.
David EllenbogenHOST
Oh.
Ehsan MatooriGUEST
And last year I was, I was like...
Ehsan MatooriGUEST
I mean, so I saw some of the, some of the, the posts and the stories and I was like, "Oh my God, I have to be there and play my music there." And then we had another conversation with Edward Perez, one of the, the co-director of the Rite, uh, Rite of the Strings, and he also mentioned you guys.
Ehsan MatooriGUEST
And I'm like, I was like, "You know what? I, I don't know how, how to contact them and how to find them." And once I received the, the, that, um, Instagram message, I screenshot it and sent it to Edward and I was like-
Joe StumpGUEST
Yeah.
Joe StumpGUEST
And the record's called Lord of the Strings, and it comes out October 16th, and the new single, Full Throttle, just came out last Tuesday.
Joe StumpGUEST
So I'm on a new label.
Joe StumpGUEST
This one's going to be on Silver Lining Music.
Buddy GuyGUEST
He said, you know, when I first met him, he said he really wanted to learn how to play the Robert Johnson, the slide, and he never could.
Buddy GuyGUEST
And he wanted Ben and the Strings to get as close to that as you can.
Buddy GuyGUEST
And so when he came out singing and his voice and Ben and the Strings were so close together, you know, he was playing like his voice was singing.
Buddy GuyGUEST
And I just fell in love with that.
Jim DeRogatisHOST
Ideally, singers could sing a lot of your best solos.
