On this week\u2019s podcast, we talk to Ethan Gruska (Belle Brigade) about his 2017 solo album, Slowmotionary. As Gruska tells it, he innocently\xa0recorded a handful of\xa0songs thinking they would serve as a sort of business card to remind musician pals\xa0that he could do session work for them. Little did he know he'd eventually synch up with producer Tony Berg, record an entire album steeped in \u201860s and \u201870s singer-songwriter sounds and end up releasing\xa0it on Sire records. Gruska talks to us about working with Berg on the project, Blake Mills (who plays guitar on the album's second track) and what it was like to co-write a song for John Legend ("Right by You"\xa0on Legend\u2019s Darkness and Light). Though Gruska says \u201cthe guitar is a series of happy accidents for me,\u201d he\u2019s a stellar player. Watch our video with him playing \u201cReoccurring Dream\u201d on fretboardjournal.com.
