“Starting Over”
With close to thirty albums under his belt, the Iowa-born Dan Bern is one of the great iron men of rock and roll. I guess he’s kind of the Cal Ripken of modern music–why? Because he keeps showing up with high quality work. From albums like Fifty Eggs to to the newly re-mastered New American Language, Bern is one of the very best we have. His music is observational, clever and poignant, and it always comes with a melodic center that makes each number
he writes more impossible resist than the last. He’s collaborated with Emmylou Harris, opened for The Who, written songs for the movie Walk Hard, authored two books, recorded children’s albums, created and hosted two podcasts, and painted countless portraits of sports figures. If you’re getting the idea that Dan Bern is busy creating things you’re right. Part traditionalist, part punk, Bern has proven over and over that he’s one of the best and most durable songwriters on the planet. His 2001 album New American Language has been re-mastered and issued on vinyl for the first time and his new album is on the way. Glad to grab Dan for this chat in between his busy schedule….
