Did you know that Matt Sweeney plays with Neil Diamond?

I've been thinking about starting a thread about Matt Sweeney and his fascinating career, but there's already this one!
tune in tonight to see him on American Idol.

Waiting for takeoff & hearing myself playing guitar on the airplane's public address system right now. Feel like a dick. #adele #lovesong

Shredding any credibility I have left today, cuz @JakeBugg dared me to play on American Idol with him. Can you wear sweatpants on this show?

Did not realize the extent of his session work!

recording with john prine now.

Matt Sweeney John Prine likes to start recording at 10am so we can get 3 songs done before lunch at Wendell's. #badass

matt sweeney seems like he has a really fun life as far as i can tell

OTM though I wish Chavez would just come back and play full time and put out new albums every year.

those guitar moves youtube videos he does for noisey seem like the funnest fucking thing like "oh sweet let me go smoke up with billy gibbons/josh homme/st vincent and talk shop about guitar"

love those

love this guy

def a hero

was a guest on the wtf podcast this week. found it interesting that his dad was a college professor and his mom is a federal judge. also he talks about Chavez in the present tense.

oh, also that he is the reason that Andrew WK got a major label deal. always wondered about that.

another cool part of matt sweeney’s life: yusef islam tweeting him a happy birthday message.

s & d :: desert sessions is a thread I keep reviving and receiving very little interest, so I'm reaching out to its members' home threads.
