S1 E8: Wesley Schultz on "Pretty Paper"
Lumineers lead singer and co-songwriter Wesley Schultz first heard \u201cPretty Paper\u201d when his parents played Willie\u2019s classic, 1978 holiday album of the same name while driving around their New Jersey neighborhood looking at Christmas lights. The song is a Yuletide standard\u2014so much so that a lot of listeners don\u2019t even know Willie wrote it\u2014and it prompts Wes to think aloud about the power of lonesome songs during the holiday season, give an unexpected, apples-to-apples comparison between Willie and Bruce Springsteen, and explain how absolutely rare it is to find a Christmas song you can listen to all year long.
