Created by acclaimed Atlanta artist Anna Jensen [https://www.instagram.com/annajensenart/], this monumental project serves as a profound visual response to the classic songs of Georgia Music Hall of Fame inductee Kevn Kinney [https://www.instagram.com/kevnkinney312/], who is also Jensen's husband.    The scale of this project is unprecedented: 100 of Kinney’s songs (spanning his solo work and his legendary career with rock band Drivin N Cryin) have been reimagined by 100 different collaborating musical artists. Jensen has since painted a unique, corresponding canvas for every single track. She is releasing the massive tribute music project through her own independent label, Tasty Goody Records. [https://www.tastygoodyrecords.com/]   We couldn't fit the full interview into our standard weekly broadcast, so we are throwing open the vault.
