Podcast 306: Nels Cline

Nels Cline joins us on this week’s podcast to discuss his new
double-album on Blue Note, Share the Wealth. Share the Wealth
finds Nels alongside the powerhouse lineup of Scott Amendola,
Skerik, Trevor Dunn, Brian Marsella and Cyro Baptista. Inspired
by the cut-up recording methods of Os Mutantes and influenced at
least a bit by Miles Davis' electric period, it's one of his
wildest projects to date. During our chat, we also talk gear
(including the guitar that is closest to his heart while he’s
quarantining during the pandemic, his pedal board and more),
collaborator Julian Lage, forthcoming Wilco recordings and more.
It’s a fun conversation with a Fretboard Journal favorite.


Check out some of our previous features with Nels: His interview
