Ron Pope interview with 'A Music Blog, Yea?'


Hello Ron, thanks for chatting with AMBY! What have you been up to lately?
Glad to be chatting with y’all! I was on tour in Europe in June, and we just finished work on my brand new album a few weeks ago. Other than that, I’ve been going to lots of weddings…it seems everyone I know is getting married this year!
How would you describe your sound to those unfamiliar with your music?
I always just tell people to listen and develop their own opinion. Describing music with words is always challenging and not usually all that useful.
You have a great discography! Which three songs are the quintessential Ron Pope?
Thanks a lot. That’s a tough one; I’ve put out so much music and my sound has evolved so much over the years. I’m going to pick three albums rather than three songs. I’d say “Daylight” to show the earlier, rootsier part of my career, “Atlanta” to show where I went from there, and then, my as yet unreleased new album, because that’s where my head’s at right now, which is in a completely different universe than anything people have heard from me to date.
