On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Darius Jones! He’s been on a tear in recent years, and his last three albums - including the latest, “Legend of e’Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye)” - have really left a mark on me. I was thrilled to talk to Darius about the new record, his mental health journey, and so much more. We get into George Clinton’s all-timer status, classic Jacko, Andy Bey being weird and great, Meshell Ndegeocello’s multiple talents, the magic connection between MF Doom and Madlib, Henry Threadgill, Patti Labelle, and more!
