Chris Thile (Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek) joins us this week\'s Fretboard Journal Podcast for an introspective talk about the making of Laysongs, his new solo album. It\'s a project that has the groundbreaking composer/mandolinist\\xa0meditating on themes of organized religion, god and church (he even recorded the project in a former Hudson, NY church). During out chat, we talk about the compositions found on the album, his vocal technique, Live From Here, and why even Lloyd Loar-signed Gibson F-5 mandolins aren\'t perfect as-is. It\'s a fun and insightful conversation with one of our favorite musicians.\\xa0
