Side Projects: Gospel Music

This episode of Performance Anxiety Side Projects is almost a religious experience. Welcome Morgan Geer of Drunken Prayer and Matt Patton of Drive-By Truckers. Today we’re talking about Gospel music. Morgan and Matt talk about the Gospel music that made the first impact on them and give some great recommendations on where to start your own journey.  Matt and Morgan each give their accounts of how they met. Matt talks about finding small radio stations that play Gospel music all over the country while touring.  Morgan has released a new Drunken Prayer album called Thy Burdens and it’s deeply rooted in country Gospel music. But, it has the Drunken Prayer spin on it.Matt plays bass and spearheaded the entire project. To make the album even more authentic, part of it was even recorded in a church. Check out Drunken Prayer’s new album, Thy Burdens, on Bandcamp and streaming. Follow Morgan on socials @DrunkenPrayer. Matt can be found on the road with Drive-By Truckers or in his Water Valley, MS studio, DIal Back Sound. And make sure you keep an eye on their upcoming releases. Follow us @PerformanceAnx.
