   Today, we're bringing you the second part of our special recorded at New Monkey Studio's All My Rowdy Friends tribute show (held in August 2024). Last time round, we had Sara Lov and Mehro on the show. For this one, we're joined by musician Kevin Devine. Kevin was our guest way back in episode 8 of season one, where he selected the Biggest Lie as his favourite song pick. In this interview, he reflects on some of the songs he covered at the tribute show, including Division Day, Clementine and Kings Crossing. This is Kevin in conversation with Elizabeth Withstandley. And do stick around right to the end, as we play a clip from Kevin's cover of Kings Crossing.
