In episode 158 of “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine, host James Patrick Regan speaks with guitarist, songwriter and novelist Willy Vlautin of the Delines. In their conversation Willy talks about living north of Portland, Oregon and growing up in Reno, Nevada and playing in Cowpunk bands and how his older brother turned him on to the guitar. Willy talks about writing songs at an early age to help him escape the edge of Reno before he became entranced by it. Willy tells the story of stealing his mom’s VW to drive to San Francisco to see the bands he loved and then driving back after the show to have his mom’s car back by 6:am. Willy talks about his gear, starting with a Gibson Sonex when he was a kid and then Gibson SG’s and his father’s nylon string Martin all which were hard to find because Willy is left handed. Willy also tells us about his amps, a Milkman. Willy describes his bands, Richmond Fontaine and his current band the Delines both that Willy is the primary songwriter. Finally Willy describes his career as a novelist.
