Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale, the songwriters and musicians behind indie-folk favorites Milk Carton Kids, don't cut corners when it comes to songwriting. Everything gets held under the microscope; everything is subject to change. There's no ego in the room, just pure service of the song.Ryan and Pattengale join hosts Sean Watkins and Peter Harper to talk influences—what gets through into your songwriting, and what do you block out?—before digging into a downtempo plucker built around a timeless, folk-country melodic convention. Once the basic pieces are in place, though, things get interesting. The gang calls this “Burt Bacharach-ing it up;” lashing the essential elements tightly to the deck. Word choices are analyzed and tweaked, melodies are shifted ever so slightly, and chord progressions are optimized, note by note.The quartet settles on a simple, memorable lyrical composition (“An Orbison, one-nugget snapshot”), but that doesn't mean there isn't space for some Adam Sandler vocal influence to counterbalance the Nebraska-era Springsteen solemnity.This episode is sponsored by Berklee Online: https://online.berklee.edu/Join our Patreon: http://patreon.com/beforeyourveryears

They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.        

Founded in 2011, indie-folk duo The Milk Carton Kids swiftly emerged as a major force in the American folk tradition, blending ethereal harmonies and intricate musicianship with a uniquely powerful brand of contemporary songcraft.

The Pattengale-produced solo album is noteworthy not just for  Tice’s always-exceptional playing and vocals, but also for its stripped-down beauty. It’s one of our favorite albums of 2020. During the call, we hear about the songs on the album, Pattengale’s recording process and Tice’s latest guitar acquisition (yes, he's doubled his guitar collection). Pattengale  - at the time hunkered down in a cabin in Eastern Canada - also hilariously describes the pandemic project he picked up in 2020, plus a lot more. It's a fun chat about the making of a great acoustic album. Note: We've included a track from Motivational Speakeasy on our new Thirty for 2020 Spotify playlist, filled with some of our favorite songs from the year.

[REBROADCAST] The Milk Carton Kids, Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale, join us to perform songs from their album, The Only Ones. Check out their webseries, "Sad Songs Comedy Hour," here.

Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan have been writing and working together as the Milk Carton Kids since 2011. In that time they have released five records, been included in various small and big screen enterprises and, as of 2018, are the acting hosts of the Americana Music Awards.  This colorful history can most likely be particularly attributed to two aspects of their of their work together: there melifulous discography (detailed instrumentation and harmonic vocals), and their rapid-fire chemistry. Pattengale and Ryan never fail to riff or build upon what the other has said, and the results vary between sharp insight and comedic banter worthy of Second City.  So join us on Americana Podcast as host, Robert Earl Keen, speaks with Pattengale and Ryan on their professional conjunction, songwriting evolution, and the expansion of Americana music moving forward. 

Live from the Red Carpet at the 2018 Americana Honors & Awards Show, Tatiana Z catches up with Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan of The Milk Carton Kids for a quick chat about performing at the DittyTV studio during Folk Alliance in 2012, hosting the Awards Show, and more.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Esta vez nos sentimos en la obligación de rendir homenaje a John Prine, que fue hospitalizado el jueves 29 del pasado mes de marzo tras tener síntomas propios del coronavirus. Desde un primer momento se habló de "situación crítica" que no daba demasiadas esperanzas de recuperación. Los problemas de salud de Prine venían desde que a finales de los 90 le diagnosticaron cáncer de células escamosas en el cuello. Consiguió recuperarse tras radiación y cirugía, pero en 2013, sufrió cáncer en su pulmón izquierdo. Desgraciadamente, el martes día 7 moría en el Centro Médico de la Universidad de Vanderbilt en Nashville con 73 años. El veterano músico de Illinois demostró desde su primer trabajo, allá por 1971, hasta sus últimos momentos, su sabiduría y delicadeza para contar historias. Por suerte, su propio sello, Oh Boy, lanzó un primer libro de canciones para dar cobertura a todo ese proceso creativo de más de cuatro décadas. Beyond Words incluye letras y acordes de guitarra de más de 60 canciones firmadas por John Prine. Además, el libro cuenta con más de 100 fotografías, copias de letras manuscritas con comentarios adicionales y una mirada íntima a la obra de uno de los grandes artesanos de la música popular. Entre los temas seleccionados destaca un clásico de la categoría de "Angel from Montgomery", que formó parte de aquel álbum de debut en 1971 y que hablaba de una mujer de mediana edad que se sentía más vieja de lo que era en realidad y tan solo deseaba que un ángel viniera a llevársela lejos. Todo ello con la envoltura del órgano de Bobby Emmons. Los comienzos de una buena parte de los compositores relacionados con el country a finales de la década de los 60 y primeros años 70 tienen una simpleza casi ingenua, llena de lirismo. John Prine perteneció a la misma escuela de talentos de la folk music que Bob Dylan. Por lo tanto, en su personalidad artística siempre resaltó el seco humor de Woody Guthrie y sus canciones dedicadas a los amores perdidos no tienen casi nunca una componente de autocomplacencia en el dolor. Casi todas sus grabaciones han reflejado su propia manera de ser, por encima de la inspiración. Hoy hemos querido establecer distintas instantáneas sonoras de un artista con una carrera intachable en la que ha dejado joyas como “Souvenirs”, que el cantautor de Illinois incluiría en su segundo trabajo, Diamonds In The Rough, de 1972. Hace 40 años no era nada habitual escuchar las canciones de John Prine en las emisoras de radio de nuestro país, pero nosotros manteníamos nuestra devoción por él y álbumes como Storm Windows se convirtieron en un referente sonoro de TOMA UNO. Aquel trabajo, el séptimo de su discografía, fue el último grabado en una gran compañía como Asylum, ya que poco después fundaría Oh Boy Records, donde se editaron todas sus grabaciones posteriores. Recuperó un buen puñado de canciones que habían estado en el ambiente de las sesiones de su anterior trabajo, Pink Cadillac. Pero esta nueva aventura estaba más cerca de álbumes como Sweet Revenge y Common Sense, con un sonido más cohesionado y pulido. Mucho tuvo que ver en ello su marcha a los legendarios Muscle Shoals Sound Studios de Sheffield, en Alabama. "One Red Rose", que tiene que ver con una noche pasada con su primo Charlie Bill y donde Rachel Peer, su mujer por entonces, añadía unas armonías vocales deliciosas, fue una de nuestras canciones favoritas por entonces y lo sigue siendo ahora que hemos perdido a John Prine. Al igual que ocurrió en Aimless Love, su primer disco en Oh Boy, German Afternoons fue coproducido por John Prine junto a un veterano de Music Row como Jim Rooney, contando con las colaboraciones de la New Grass Revival y de Marty Stuart, lo que dio una tonalidad distinta a aquel registro. El indudable que “Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness” fue la canción más popular, y más aún cuando después de siete años la grabó a dúo con Nanci Griffith en el álbum Other Voices, Other Rooms de la artista tejana. En aquel registro de 1986, un par de años antes de que George Strait llevara al No. 1 de las listas de country su versión de “I Just Want To Dance With You” como primer single de su Lp One Step At A Time, John Prine incluyó la versión original de aquel tema acompañado por la New Grass Revival y que había creado junto a Roger Cook. Con Brandi Carlile en los coros vocales, “Boudless Love”, compuesto junto a Pat McLaughlin y Dan Auerbach, miembro de los Black Keys, fue otro de esos regalos tan maravillosos como inesperados que John Prine repartió en sus muchos años de magisterio. Se ha convertido en su último en forma de álbum de un artista hoy homenajeado en nuestro programa que regresaba con un disco de temas nuevos tras 13 años sin hacerlo. Con el productor Dave Cobb supervisando las sesiones, The Tree of Forgiveness parece grabado en una reunión informal a la luz de una fogata nocturna, sin nada impostado, convirtiendo la veteranía de su protagonista es un activo más que en un inconveniente. The Tree of Forgiveness, fue grabado en el Studio A de RCA de Nashville, algo natural teniendo a Dave Cobb en la producción. “Summer’s End” es una de las canciones que estuvimos anticipando durante semanas que compusieron juntos el legendario artista y Pat McLaughlin. Entre los invitados especiales estaban Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell y Amanda Shires y en las composiciones de algunos de los temas intervinieron el ya nombrado Dan Auerbach, Keith Sykes, Phil Spector y Roger Cook. En el pasado mes de junio, John Prine y Margo Price pusieron voz a su rotunda oposición a la controvertida prohibición al aborto en Alabama. Para ello sacaron a la luz esta nueva versión conjunta e "Unwed Fathers", una canción que el veterano artista grabó originalmente en 1984 para su álbum Aimless Love criticando la postura machista ante los embarazos no deseados. En esta versión también participaron Kenneth Pattengale de Milk Carton Kids y Jeremy Ivey, marido de Price y miembro de su banda. A finales del pasado 2019, Nathaniel Rateliff inició el lanzamiento de una serie de vinilos de 7 pulgadas para Stax Records que ha llamado genéricamente The Marigold Singles. Para el primero de ellos contó con John Prine, y con él grabó "Sam Stone", una canción sobre un veterano adicto a las drogas y su muerte por sobredosis que el legendario artista de Illinois incluyó en su disco de debut de 1971. La última grabación de John Prine de la que tuvimos noticias vino de la mano de Jerry Williams, bien conocido como Swamp Dogg, con uno de los temas de su nuevo álbum, Sorry You Couldn’t Make It. Se trata de “Memories”, una visión personal a modo de balada psicodélica sobre el concepto de familia, amor y amigos, grabado en el Sound Emporium de Nashville a primeros de 2019 junto al ahora desaparecido artista de Illinois, lo que le permite sumergirse en el sonido con el que creció, el country. Oh Boy Records fue la apuesta discográfica más personal de John Prine. Fue creada en 1981 por el artista junto a su manager Al Bunetta y su amigo Dan Einstein, un año después de que hubiera concluido su contrato con el sello Asylum y se mudara a Nashville. En el año 2004 John Prine participó por sorpresa en el álbum The Crickets & Their Buddies que firmaron los tres miembros originales de los Crickets, la mítica banda de acompañamiento de Buddy Holly. Con Nanci Griffith y Sonny Curtis en los coros, el músico de Illinois versionó –no podía ser de otra manera- “Oh Boy”, que habían grabado los Crickets nada más comenzar el verano de 1957 en Clovis, Nuevo México. En 1998, a John Prine fue diagnosticado con cáncer de cuello, sometido a radioterapia y fisioterapia. Quince años después, descubrió que tenía cáncer en los pulmones, que pudo ser operado. Con ese peculiar sentido del humor que le caracterizaba, escribió “When I Get To Heaven” (Cuando llegue al cielo) hablando de algunas de las cosas a las que tuvo que renunciar después de su enfermedad. Escribió la canción porque creía que no hay cáncer en el cielo, así cuando llegara allí se iba a tomar un cóctel de vodka y ginger ale y se iba a fumar un cigarrillo de 9 millas de largo. Esa es su idea del cielo. Cuando John Prine grabó "When I Get to Heaven", para cerrar su último álbum, The Trees Of Forgiveness, con el productor Dave Cobb, convirtió el estudio en una fiesta, con multitud de amigos y familiares cantando y tocando el kazoo de fondo. Ahora, John Prine habrá hecho realidad su sueño de entonces. Escuchar audio

When you meet Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale, it’s clear that the energy in the room just dialed up a notch -And this is not just about the Americana award-winning and Grammy-nominated duo’s unique yet classic sound, it’s their collective personality. Joey and Kenneth are the Milk Carton Kids out of California.You may have seen them on the big screen as part of Inside Llewyn Davis, along with colleagues and mentors Joan Baez, Jack White, Marcus Mumford, and The Punch Brothers. Or perhaps you’ve seen them on tour with the Lumineers or Old Crow Medicine Show.Joey and Kenneth complement each other in harmony, instrumentation and personality. They finish each other’s sentences and can banter like brothers who knew each other long before forming this duo that may remind you of a 21st century Simon and Garfunkel.We sat with the MCK along with CEO of the Boch Center Joe Spaulding for a chat at the Cabot theater north of Boston and were privileged to sit back during a sound check that filled the theater with crisp guitar picking and vibrant vocal harmonies. 

Kenneth Pattengale, of The Milk Carton Kids, is a Grammy Nominated Singer/Songwriter, Guitarist,Producer, and Engineer. Being the welcomed hosts of the Americana Music Awards annually, his duo has released 6 albums, all of which are immensely dense and fraught with concepts that paint landscapes of Western philosophy with permanently poetic imagery of relatable angles of […]

Garnering comparisons to other iconic duos like Simon & Garfunkel or The Everly Brothers, Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale have effortlessly sewn together a timeless aura around their fragile, emotionally-resonant songs as Grammy-nominated folk duo The Milk Carton Kids. Since their start nearly a decade ago, their acoustic guitar mastery and impeccable vocal harmonies have led to collaborations or shared stages with legends of the craft like T Bone Burnett, Gillian Welch and John Prine. Joined today by Old Crow Medicine Show bassist Morgan Jahnig and recorded backstage at Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center, Joey and Kenneth discuss reinterpreting Pink Floyd, the supportive community hub of in-store performances at record shops, and the merit of something we'll call -- for this episode -- the artistic vision of "yellow shorts." PLUS learn how you could win a copy of their latest release, The Only Ones, on 10" vinyl. For tour dates, social media and more, visit themilkcartonkids.com.

We don’t have a lot of time. I’m setting up my gear in some Sirius-XM meeting room, while Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan order lunch. They get something nice, a welcome change from the usual road fare. The Milk Carton Kids just finished an appearance on Steve Earle’s show, chatting with the country legend following an appearance on the Howard Stern after show. It’s a bit of cultural whiplash, but the duo take it in stride. The soft-singing, tight-harmonies indie-folk group found success only after pairing up, but since their 2011 debut, it’s been a steady rise. The group have become NPR darlings and have played alongside some of the genre’s biggest names. This time out, however, they’re giving a nod to humble roots, with the on-the-nose Very Small Venues at Very Low Ticket tour, which finds them performing far more intimate sets for a hardcore fanbase.  

The Milk Carton Kids – Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale – brought their moving acoustic songs and dynamic duo performance to Outpost in the Burbs in December 2019. We spoke with them before the show for this episode of Inside the Outpost, and got the lowdown on their background, their current activities, and the latest on Kenneth’s production projects and Joey’s day job. Special bonus content this episode includes a fun quiz about Eagle Rock, CA vs Eagle Rock Reservation, NJ – and how easy it is to mix up Joe Purdy and Joe Pug. The podcast includes an exclusive live recording of the incredible “I Meant Every Word I Said,” the first song on their recent EP THE ONLY ONES. Thanks for listening!

The harmony duo from California, Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale, discuss writing songs for commercials to stay afloat in their early years, touring economically, and the secret that has allowed their intimate creative partnership to flourish for so long.  

Don't worry! Everything's going to be alright. But if you need more reassurance than that, look no further than "Set of Stairs," from the Amsterdam-based band Pip Blom. It's a burst of frenetic joy to lift you up whenever life deals you a bad hand. Its singular message: You got this!That's just one of the songs we're featuring on this week's show. We've also got wild and wonderful new music from former Tiny Desk contest winners Tank and the Bangas, gorgeous harmonies and an uplifting message of unity from Jesca Hoop with Lucius, and the singer known as Sevdaliza has a dark and mysterious reflection on love gone bad.All that plus singer-songwriter Chris Staples announces his new album Holy Moly and shares a tale of young love called "Everybody Said;" and singer, multi-instrumentalist and poet Vera Sola pairs with Kenneth Pattengale of The Milk Carton Kids on "Loving, Loving (Acoustic Reprise)."

Kenneth Pattengale (Milk Carton Kids) joins us on this week’s Fretboard Journal Podcast to talk about his new Martin Kenneth Pattengale Special guitar (available exclusively at Gruhn Guitars). This guitar has quite a backstory: Kenneth set out to make the ultimate American-made guitar for musicians on a budget, an homage to his '50s 0-15. After many twists and turns (and literally years of prototypes), Martin and Kenneth were able to design a unique guitar with a stained torrefied Adirondack spruce top, mahogany back and sides and dovetail neck joint for less than $2200. We also chat about Kenneth’s growing collection of vintage Martins, including his '55 0-15 and his shadetop 1932 0-17, music production and more.

The Milk Carton Kids bring the whole band to play songs from their newest album “All the Things That I Did and All the Things That I Didn't Do,” inspiring scenes about learning to love in a weird way, a man who is depressed because he's been masturbating wrong his whole life, and a teen that desperately wants to have an adult epiphany. Plus, they test out creepy pickup lines and a father deals with his addiction to mustache rides.

Anthony da Costa is already on his way. He’s only 26 and is a graduate of Columbia University in NYC. He’s lived in NYC, Austin and now resides in Nashville. He’s been a sideman guitar slinger for Jimmy LaFave, Aoife O’Donovan and Sarah Jarosz. He adds his own wonderful ethereal style to every performance and recording. Oh yeah, he’s also a phenomenal singer and songwriter. He’s currently working on a new solo record produced by Kenneth Pattengale of The Milk Carton Kids. We were lucky to get Anthony to come in to our podcast on one of his rare days off. Enjoy!

My guest this week is guitarist and songwriter Kenneth Pattengale. Pattengale makes up one half of the killer duo The Milk Carton Kids, which formed in 2011 when Pattengale teamed up with fellow songwriter Joey Ryan. The duo formed a fast chemistry which relies on tight and intricate harmony singing, and the slippery guitar playing of Pattengale. Together they have made 4 albums, and have had an incredible run over the last 5 years working with Joe Henry, T-Bone Burnett and Ryan Freeland, receivig a Grammy nomination, and touring all over the world. Previous to the Kids, Kenneth was a solo artist living in LA, making solo records under the radar and getting really good at Scrabble. I've been a fan of these guys since seeing them a few years ago at Folk Alliance and then at the Americana Conference in Nashville. Recently, my friends in Birds of Chicago, another killer band, did an EP at my studio and Kenneth was a guest. We had a good hang, played some music together and then he was nice enough to drop by and talk about his young but extremely successful career. Enjoy my conversation with Kenneth Pattengale, and please subscribe to the podcast for free on iTunes!
