Two years ago, I profiled The Narrator for Death+Taxes. The piece never ran, for reasons that are unknown to me, and I was reminded as of the writing of the previous post that, hey, posting it here might not be a terrible idea. So, here it is, one of my favorite pieces of music-related writing I’ve done in recent years. Topics discussed include Steve Winwood, George Saunders, Hal Hartley, film soundtracks, and more.
