Craig Finn (The Hold Steady)

Kevin McDonald’s Kevin McDonald Show is back with a very special in-studio interview with Craig Finn from The Hold Steady! Shortly after questioning his cloudy cup of water and insulting a country, Kevin talks with Craig about his latest album “We All Want The Same Things,” the philosophy behind his songwriting, and his illustrious musical career with The Hold Steady and as a solo artist. They discuss humor in music, The Replacements vs. Hüsker Dü, writing during politically tense times, “classic rock bands” crossing the Canadian border, and much much more. Plus at the end of the show (1:19:00), Craig plays a beautiful, acoustic rendition of “Be Honest” from “We All Want The Same Things.” --- Kevin McDonald's Kevin McDonald Show is a Forever Dog Podcast: https://foreverdogpodcasts.com/podcasts/kevin-mcdonalds-kevin-mcdonald-show Learn more about your ad choices.
