187: Durand Jones

Bedroom Beethovens

On his debut solo album, Wait Til I Get Over, Durand Jones lays us several courses and flavors of sound that are all distinctly Southern and Black—rhythms heavy with raw, Delta grit; bright exhalations of church spirituals; even tender, cadent spoken word. Now I've been a fan of durand for a number of years, and I'm familiar with his music, but now I want to have a conversation about his life so I can figure out if he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, enduring with a concept until it takes the proper form. So we talk about everything from growing up in Hillaryville, to revisiting it 9 years ago, and the series of events that has shaped him, has shaped this debut album, and what shapes his future.
