Langhorne Slim on Writing After Recovery

Langhorne Slim didn’t set out to write a record. He hadn’t written music in a year. At the end of 2019 he entered a program to tackle his issues with prescription drug abuse. Shortly after he came out of that program, a tornado struck his neighborhood in Nashville, then COVID-19 hit the nation. Trying to make sense of it all, Langhorne slim finally wrote a song. He was given the advice to write without any expectations and music started to flow again. The result is his latest album, 'Strawberry Mansion.'Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
