This week's episode of Thinkin’ and Drinkin’ is with Kyle Cook. Kyle shares his insights and the beginning of his music business career. He also talks about what he was doing while Matchbox 20 was on a hold. Listen in and enjoy this delightful conversation with Bart and Kyle!
Meet Kyle Cook: For two decades, Kyle Cook spent the bulk of his musical life as the lead guitarist of matchbox twenty. He co-wrote some of the songs and invented many of the instrumental riffs that have become distinguishing parts in such radio staples as “Real World,” “Unwell” and “Bent.” But plenty of his creative persona was held in check as he collaborated in a team effort.
With Wolves, his solo debut, Cook invests so much of himself in the project that a discerning listener can get a good idea of who the guitar player really is. He’s a studied musician with an all-American Midwestern background, a guy who has a penchant for classic rock with just enough classical training to make him dangerous, and an adult whose experiences with the cycle of love and loss are extraordinarily familiar.
What Bart has to say: Kyle is a legitimate big-time rock star and he has become such a sweet longtime friend. I really enjoy his company so this interview was so much fun!
