Why We Write with Kim Ruehl

by

‘Why We Write’ features conversations between folk music reporter Kim Ruehl and a hand-picked array of great songwriters. So much goes into a song—the songwriter’s intimate life, their upbringing, their worldview, what they see going on in the world. What moves them to put pen to paper? How do they do it? When, where, and why? Ruehl explores all of this with some of the finest songwriters working these days—old favorites, up-and-comers, and everything in between.
