KURT VILE just released a charming 5-track EP titled ‘SPEED, SOUND, LONELY KV’

It was recorded in several Nashville sessions over the past four years. Vile worked with guest musicians including Sweeney, the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, and local legends Bobby Wood, Dave Roe, and Kenny Malone.

The EP features three covers. Two – How Lucky and Speed Of Sound Of Loneliness by the late John Prine who passed away last April and Gone Girl by the late Jack ‘Cowboy’ Clement. The two originals are Dandelions and Pearls.

Kurt Vile: “I like to be sentimental but also a bit mental.”

KURT VILE Shares The JOHN PRINE Song ‘HOW LUCKY’ He Recorded Together With The Late Country Legend

Posted on by JL

The legendary American country singer/songwriter JOHN PRINE passed away on
7 April due to that horrible coronavirus. He was 73. The praise from young and old musicians around the world was enormous and several covers of his songs already
came up afterward to honor Prine‘s huge talent and great career.

KURT VILE recorded two Prine songs some time ago. Speed Of Sound Of Loneliness
and How Lucky which he recorded with the man himself.

The two tracks will be on his new 5-track EP called Speed, Sound, Lonely KV together with a cover of a Jack Clement song, as well as two originals. The EP was recorded over a span of four years at The Butcher Shoppe studio in Nashville.

Vile about singing with Prine: “Probably the single most special musical moment in my life.”
