Setlist Radio Blog: Honest Tunes on Honest Man on Honest Tunes (8 minutes, 256kbps mp3)

This Tuesday (5-23-2006), Honest Tunes Radio Show welcomes Arkansas’ native-son Fred Tackett to the studio for a live interview and, hopefully, he’ll play some acoustic songs for us live on-the-air. Live broadcast starting at 8 PM Central on KXUA 88.3 FM Fayetteville; webcasting on this Listen Live link.

Fred Tackett is a multi-instrumentalist who has been recording music for 40 years so far. Tackett plays mandolin, guitar, dobro, trumpet, and more; writes and sings songs in various solo projects; and tours internationally as a member of classic-roots-rock band Little Feat.

He’s based in Eureka Springs, and has released a Fred Tackett CD called In A Town Like This, including the song “Honest Man” which we play on Honest Tunes Radio from time to time. He also performed at The Great Unknown Music Festival in North Arkansas, and plans to throw a Little Feat Festival in Eureka Springs in September.

Check out his awesome discography (below), and you’ll see many of the kind of jams and roots music records we like to spin on Honest Tunes Radio, with a focus on honest songwriting and soulful delivery (along with some pop hits and session work credentials). It is an honor to get to hang out with Fred and ask him some questions about his roots in Arkansas, and his musical adventures around the world, from the 1960’s to today.
