Art of the Song
Art of the Song is a one-hour, independently-produced radio show with music and interviews exploring inspiration and creativity through songwriting and other art forms. The program is heard on over 160 stations worldwide. Learn why songwriters and artists create, how they become inspired, and how you can tap into that creative source in every aspect of your life.
Our guest this week on Art of the Song is Butch Hancock. A world traveling troubadour with a long string of recorded songs, Butch is acknowledged by his peers and critics alike, as one of the premiere singer-songwriters Texas has ever produced. His tunes evoke mystical visions of wind-swept dry-plains and his lyrics are profoundly imaginative. His style has often been compared to that of Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. Butch Hancock is also a member of the renowned country rock super-group, The Flatlanders, along with his lifelong friends, Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. We spoke with Butch in front of a live audience at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in Okemah, Oklahoma.
