Dave Alvin on Dystopia Tonight Ep 179

Dave Alvin’s got a career the spans over 5 decades . I’m thrilled Dystopia Tonight got to be a pit stop within his ever expanding, legendary career. His new book comes out in September, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. We talk about his start in music, an unreleased blasters that will REMAIN unreleased, his favorite album, advice from Nick Lowe, living in Downey California, drinking through the making of an entire album, Whiskey A-Go-Go, being inspired by mediocrity, his bout with cancer, still smoking, and making the most out of your life. Enjoy!
