Guitarist Chris Eldridge joins us on this week’s podcast to talk about the new Punch Brothers album. Hell on Church Street Blues. This project is like nothing you’ve heard before: a track-by-track reinterpretation of Tony Rice’s famous song Church Street Blues solo album.
As we chat, Chris shares with us the music – and life – lessons he learned from his time with Tony and why the band decided to tackle his influential album now. He also walks us through some of the arrangement strategies they used on various tracks. It’s a unique insight into how one of the world’s most innovative acoustic ensembles works and we think you’ll love it.
