Interview - An in-depth conversation with Jon Brooks about his new album "Moth Nor Rust II" - a podcast by Jan Hall

if you loved our interview with Jon Brooks we included in Episode 461 of Folk Roots Radio with Jan Hall, you're definitely going to enjoy listening to our full interview, which is nearly twice as long. I don't need to tell you that we're big fans of his music on Folk Roots Radio! Jon's seventh album, "Moth Nor Rust II" is a re-imagining of his 2009 solo album "Moth Nor Rust" but this time around, he brings his band 'The Outskirts Of Approval' along for the ride. A Kerrville New Folk winner (2010), Jon Brooks has been nominated for English Songwriter of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards more times than any other artist. He says that he writes songs to calm those who’ve looked into and seen what is in their hearts; he also writes songs to terrify those who’ve not. That’s pretty accurate as far as we’re concerned – his lyrics deserve to be poured over, as no word is EVER wasted. He’s an artist who pushes you to reflect on what you’re listening to, and in the case of Moth Nor Rust to ask what it means to be human. When Jon Brooks decides it’s time to revisit an album to reflect on his own artistic maturity and with a new band in tow, then it’s definitely time for another conversation. So sit back and enjoy our full interview with Jon Brooks! Photo: Kevin Kelly
