My guest this week, Louisville-based musician Ben Sollee, has been recording and touring since 2008, so he's done a LOT of interviews over the years. He's good at talking about his music, how he makes it, why he does what he does, and the environmental and cultural issues he wants to advocate. But this exercise of selecting physical objects is a way to get someone like Ben out of the usual "artist interview" routine, and even if you've heard him interviewed before, this conversation was something different. He\u2019s got a new album just out, called \u201cKentucky Native,\u201d and a new baby on the way later this fall. And as you\u2019ll hear, he\u2019s taking stock of what\u2019s important and thinking about what\u2019s next.
