Published: Sept. 1, 2022, 9:20 a.m.

This week, in the third installment of OBW\u2019s special, Live from Luck! mini-season, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Steve Gunn discusses the penultimate track on Red Headed Stranger, \u201cHands on the Wheel.\u201d It\u2019s the song with which Willie wraps up the RHS narrative, when his roaming, vengeful preacher finally finds love and a home. And Steve, who first made his name as a virtuoso guitarist, focuses on the way Willie used subtle guitar-picking to bring the story to a ruminative, peaceful end...before getting into where he hears Django Reinhardt\u2019s influence on Willie\u2019s playing and why Trigger sounds like no other guitar in the world.
