Dermot Kennedy Talks Funeral, Better Days, Fred Again and New Album "The Weight of the Woods"

Ireland’s finest is back on the couch to discuss his third album, ‘Weight of the Woods’ — a record that in part-took shape in Nashville, but is very much steeped in his home country. We get into the nitty gritty of the album, the relationship between sports and music and music-making, that Taylor Swift cover, “Blue Eyes,” J Cole and his hip-hop influences. Plus he recounts his meet-cute with Fred Again and how those two banging collabs came about, he clarifies (and is occasionally confused by) some Irish slang, and so much more.
