Outsider Art w Finster & Yingst + Mountain Goats on The Jukebox (True Tunes Live)

True Tunes host John J. Thompson recently traveled to Cleveland,
TN, to speak at a festival in honor of Rev. Howard Finster – the
enigmatic painter, pastor, and musician who first came to
international prominence when his art was used on album covers by
Talking Heads, R.E.M., and Adam Again, and is considered by some
to be the father of contemporary folk art. Painter and woodcut
printmaker Kreg Yingst, whose art has graced recent album
projects by Vigilantes of Love and others, presented at the
festival as well and joined John for a conversation. Plus, we
crank up the Jukebox to check out one of the most prolific and
accomplished outsider musicians of the last three decades; John
Darnielle and his band, The Mountain Goats.
