Podcast 308: Jordan Tice and Kenneth Pattengale

Published: Dec. 12, 2020, 5:54 p.m.

Jordan Tice and Kenneth Pattengale of the Milk Carton Kids join us on this week\u2019s Fretboard Journal Podcast to talk about the making of Tice\u2019s 2020 album, Motivational Speakeasy. The Pattengale-produced solo album is noteworthy not just for\xa0 Tice\u2019s always-exceptional playing and vocals, but also for its stripped-down beauty. It\u2019s one of our favorite albums of 2020.

During the call, we hear about the songs on the album, Pattengale\u2019s recording process and Tice\u2019s latest guitar acquisition (yes, he's doubled his guitar collection). Pattengale\xa0 - at the time hunkered down in a cabin in Eastern Canada - also hilariously describes the pandemic project he picked up in 2020, plus a lot more. It's a fun chat about the making of a great acoustic album.

Note: We've included a track from Motivational Speakeasy on our new Thirty for 2020 Spotify playlist, filled with some of our favorite songs from the year.

Recorded November 11, 2020.
