I HAD the pleasure recently to speak to one of my longtime heroes, the British-born, Massachusetts-dwelling singer-songwriter Lloyd Cole, about Dylan, Why he loves country music, aging as a rock musician, and other topics.<\/p>\n

The conversation\u00a0is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the new record and then we\u2019ll drop back and speak more broadly about your checkered career, your songwriting. So I think this \u201cStandards\u201d record took a lot of people by surprise. Your first records were sort of world-weary and sophisticated. You made them in your twenties. Now that you\u2019re middle-aged, the album is sort\"Rattlesnakes\" of bracing and a bit raw. So what happened here?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’ll try to fill in this post but just back from a pretty wild few days in Puebla, Mexico which I will be sketching about over the next week and must unpack and so on.<\/p>\n
