Love hearing Sarah describing her musical journey. ❤

As a great fan of Sarah's music, I thought this interview was fascinating -- very illuminating, and even moving at times to hear Sarah talk about her musical and creative process. As it turns out, while I really like the recent album, Polaroid Lovers, during recent days I had returned to the previous album, World on the Ground, which, in my opinion, is an absolute masterpiece. I find it utterly captivating; I can listen to it a couple of times in the same day! (It also gave me great appreciation and admiration towards John Leventhal.) So I was extremely interested in Sarah's comments about where she was coming from in her approach to Polaroid Lovers, which made a lot of sense to me (not that I would ever question Sarah Jarosz's musical judgment.) I do think that World on the Ground is very deep, musically, and also kind of melancholy, as Sarah mentioned -- again, I think it is a masterpiece in the truest sense of the word. But I can absolutely appreciate her motivations for creating a more "extroverted" album with songs that connect easily with a live audience. I should add that the first time I heard the video of "Jealous Moon," in studio, my reaction was that Sarah should be sure to have a nice outfit available to wear to the Grammys. That song and performance still makes my hair stand on end. So thanks to Bruce Headlam and Sarah for providing us with this thoughtful exploration of her musical and creative process. It seems strange to me that so far there are not so many likes or comments -- maybe there is some way to make Sarah's many fans aware that this interview exists? I suspect that many of them would appreciate the opportunity to hear the interview as much as I did. Thanks!

Great interview with such a wonderful artist. Where can we hear the acoustic performances?

If you have Spotify, they are included in the podcast recording there

@@AManCalledAidan But why skip over the music here? Is there some economic reason?

[@AManCalledAidan]

@@peterhmao I have no idea. Perhaps to do with risk of KZbin automatically copyright striking if there is original music included.
