Kenny Roby is a musician, song writer, natural philosopher, and well-rounded human being. His songs create a soft sound reminiscent of bluegrass and outlaw country, speaking of addiction, suffering, healing, life, and personal growth. We discussed the theme of addiction, habits, and modern-day rituals after playing All Trains Lead to Cocaine, my personal favorite of Kenny's songs.

This episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast presents an interview with Woodstock, New York via North Carolina singer-songwriter Kenny Roby. Roby is the former lead singer of 6 String Drag, which he formed with bassist Rob Keller in the early 1990s, a band which quickly became one of the more notable bands of the Americana movement. The band's style ranged from old style country with a hint of soul and gospel to rock. While 6 String Drag broke up in the late 1990s, Roby continues to make records and play live shows with the Mercy Filter, which includes Scott McCall of $2 Pistols. Roby has released seven solo albums, his latest album — the focus of the episode — is self-titled and written and recorded in Woodstock, NY. Throughout Kenny Roby, the gifted storyteller embraces the spirits of songwriters who once inhabited the very same hills like Fred Neil, Van Morrison, Tim Hardin, Karen Dalton, Bobby Charles, Levon Helm and, of course, Bob Dylan. Over the album's dozen tracks, Roby — supported by a cast including Daniel Littleton (guitars), Jeff Hill (bass), Tony Leone (drums) and superb guest vocals from Amy Helm and the legendary John Sebastian on harmonica — takes us on a sprawling walk through the neighborhood of his mind. In this episode host Michael Shields and Kenny Roby discuss Kenny Roby's genesis and the themes present in the album. They talk about the outstanding players on the album such as Amy Helm and John Sebastian while exploring how living in Woodstock, New York led to who contributed to the album's enthralling sound. They discuss Roby's friendship and working relationship with Neal Casal and the gifts that deep acquaintanceship still award Roby, and so much more.

Kenny Roby in conversation with Rita Ryan of LocalMotion 6.22.22

Kenny Roby first met Neal back in 1997, when Kenny's Raleigh, NC based band, 6 String Drag, signed to Steve Earle's E-Squared record label and made their classic album High Hat. Neal and Kenny became great pals and Neal invited Kenny along to open a month of shows on his 1998 tour of the UK and France. They sang together every night and when the tour ended they came back to the states and recorded their duo album Kenny Roby & Neal Casal: Black River Sides. They stayed friends until Neal's passing in 2019 and Kenny recorded a fantastic version of Neal's song “Too Much To Ask” for the Highway Butterfly: The Songs of Neal Casal tribute album.

Singer/songwriter Kenny Roby has spent upwards of three decades as a working musician. His most recent album, The Reservoir, was released in August of 2020. In this episode, Kenny talks to me (Mike) about the many side hustles he's had to undertake as a professional musician and why being a musician (as an actual job) is highly undervalued. He talks marriage, divorce and raising two young men; the things he's learned as a dad and the things his sons have learned through him. He also talks about various forms of personal upheaval, giving oneself grace, and dealing with addiction and suicidal ideation. 

The story of how Kenny Roby's fifth studio album came into being, along with music from the record and commentary from host Joe Kendrick. Full interview of Kenny Roby is here: https://youtu.be/GB49tWcULgM Full interview of Dave Schools is here: https://youtu.be/lVwcz77rrFk

Kenny Roby goes spelunking in The Marinade! Kenny made a name for himself as the frontman for the pioneering alt-country band Six String Drag, then went on to work with the great Neal Casal and make his own wonderful solo records. We talk about his excellent new record The Reservoir which came out on August 7, 2020, the power of soul music, the alt-country scene, and so much more.  You can find all things Kenny at kennyroby.net.

Kenny Roby is a singer-songwriter who has had an accomplished 20 year career that includes his former band 6 String Drag. They were a southern alt-country outfit who were part of that scene that included Whiskeytown, The Drive by Truckers, Drivin’ & Cryin’ amongst others in the mid 90s. Since the dissolution of 6 String Drag, Kenny has been on his own, making records, and trading songs with Neal Casal. In fact, Resevoir was to be produced by the late Neal Casal who passed a month before the production was to begin.  Dave Schools of Widespread Panic fame, but a great record producer in his own right, who knew of Kenny’s work through Neal, stepped in to produce the record with Jesse Aycock, John Lee Shannon, Jeff Hill and Tony Leone providing the backing band. The record is exquisite and deals with themes that were very personal to Kenny including his own mental health and substance abuse struggles, the break up of his marriage and ultimately getting through those challenges in hopes a better life.  We caught up with Kenny Roby to talk about the album, and our conversation started when I asked him about how tragic Neal Casal’s passing was for him personally.  First Song: 00:56: Old Love  Interview Begins: 04:38 Extro Song: 31:34 - I'm Gonna Love Again See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They discussed her songwriting process and how she developed the songs that became the record. They also talked broadly about her work, and about how she's coping during the pandemic. Kurtis Blow on Tapes Archive. This new episode features a never before heard interview with the hip-hop pioneer. At the time of this interview in 1997, Blow was 38 years old and was promoting his three-CD compilation, “The History of Rap.” In the interview, Kurtis talks with host Marc Allen about how Don Cornelius, host of Soul Train, broke his heart; what hip-hop fans should go back and listen to; and how he foresaw how big rap music would become. If you don't know, Kurtis was the first rapper to sign a major record label, and had the first certified gold record rap song for Hip Hop with The Breaks in 1980. Kenny Roby Interview + Live Song. I got the chance to sit down and talk with singer-songwriter Kenny Roby, who told us about his new album, which comes out today, called The Reservoir.

I had the opportunity to chat with singer/songwriter Kenny Roby of the Alt-Country band 6 String Drag. Kenny was gracious enough to take a few minutes out of his touring schedule to talk with me about his music, and his band 6 String Drag. He's been a part of the music industry since 1993, and he's had an enormous influence on the Alt-Country scene. Kenny was easy going, fun to talk to, and had some great stories from his musical past. Enjoy! 

Kenny Roby has been one of my favorite songwriters for the past twenty years, since I first interviewed him for a now defunct music magazine for the release of his excellent solo album, Mercury's Blues. That led me to one of my all-time favorite albums, High Hat, by his then former band, 6 String Drag. There is so much soul and musical diversity in that album – Americana that wanders from New Orleans to Texas, a bit of punk, with a ton of swing and bounce. Roby continued that roving sound on his solo albums, and I have remained a fan ever since. I was happy when the band got back together a couple of years ago, and I'm even more happy now that it has stuck. Earlier this year, the band released a re-mastered version of High Hat plus a great new album called Top of the World. It was the perfect opportunity to catch up with Roby and talk about the new album and High Hat. When I catch up with Roby, he has just gotten off work, and we talk about the work-life balance of an independent artist. As you'll hear later in the interview, Roby is working hard at tipping this much more toward the art, which isn't easy, even for someone with as wonderful catalogue as he has. One of the more interesting parts of the conversation came when we talked about internalizing influences, sounds, and riffs, and how impressionable your creative brain can be. “You've got to be careful,” says Roby, “if you listen to bad music, you'll write it.” We also talked about how some of the best music is meant more to be felt than understood. Explaining a song, as we talked about, can be like trying to figure out what the Mona Lisa is thinking. Our featured track this week comes from a new album from Domenico Lancellotti. Lancellotti, son of composer Ivor Lancellotti, is a multi-instrumentalist who has played with the likes of Gil Gilberto and Caetano Veloso, will release his solo album The Good Is A Big God on May 11. Enjoy this preview of the lead track, “Asas.”

Daniel Kraus has written a number of novels, including Rotters, a great horror novel I'm reading now. What puts him front and center right now is his work with Guillermo del Toro on the Oscar-winning story for The Shape of Water. Kraus had the idea years ago that he might want to do something about a love affair blossoming between a creature and an employee of a lab. He was already working with del Toro on the Trollhunters book, which became the series on Netflix. He mentioned the idea to del Toro, and that got the ball rolling. You'll hear more about that in the conversation. That opened up the opportunity for Kraus to work on his own version of the story in novel form. He used the backbone from the script and expanded the backstory and mythology to paint a fuller picture of the characters, most notably the heavy, Strickland, and his initial relationship with the creature. That was a large chunk of the conversation, but Kraus is currently working on another collaboration of sorts, finishing off a novel that George Romero had been working on that would span the history of his zombie movies. We also got to talk about horror in a more philosophical way, how the concepts of humanity and beauty work within that frame. Find out more about Kraus on www.danielkraus.com. After the conversation, our featured track this week is “Let's Fool Around Til the End of the World” by 6 String Drag from their new album Top of the World. This has been a great year for 6 String Drag fans. Not only did they release a remastered 20th anniversary version of their classic rock and roll Americana album High Hat, the put out the all-new album. You'll hear more about that next week, when 6 String Drag's Kenny Roby will be the interview guest. You can find the music at their website, https://6stringdrag.com.

Hey NC!  Kenny Roby of 6 String Drag stopped by today to talk about their new release out on 3/9, Top Of The World! Additional topics include the 20th anniversary of High Hat, nicknames and much more. We've included 2 tracks from it in this podcast! The legendary NC band is back with a raw rocking record that is sure to please old fans and appeal to other folks as well.  If you're in Raleigh this Friday, March 9 check them out at their album release show at The Pour House with Two Dollar Pistols and Temperance League.  

Kenny Roby talks about getting 6 String Drag back together after 15 years, his inspiration from Doug Sahm, and plays tracks from the new album. Also on this episode, rapturous soul from JJ Grey & Mofro, traditional bluegrass from Robert Earl Keen, poignant love song from James McMurtry, new Latin-pop from The Mavericks, blues from Steve Earle & the Dukes, a rare Lead Belly recording, deep twang from Jim Lauderdale, and alt-country from The Menders. "Ep232 6 String Drag gets their Roots Rock ‘N’ Roll groove back" originated from Americana Music Show.

Throughout the hour I spoke first with Kenny Roby about the differences between approaching his songs as a solo artist as opposed to a member of a full band. Roby performed an intimate take on “Tired of Being In Love,” before the focus switched over to the folks in Magnolia Collective. We then spoke a bit about the inception of Magnolia Collective and how it's grown from their humble start with weekly jams at Carrboro's The Station. Magnolia Collective then performed a brand new track from their forthcoming full length, set for release sometime next year.Lastly, we moved onto the newest band of the bill with Texoma. Texoma's songwriter Zach Terry was one of the original members of Magnolia Collective and we spoke about the differences between working with such a large group as opposed to a “dust-rock” trio. Texoma recently released a self-produced self-titled EP, and having only been a band for 2 months we naturally discussed the difficulties and excitement that comes along with being in such a swiftly moving project. To close out the hour Texoma performed an unreleased track titled “Mary Anne.”
