Christopher Paul Stelling joins us on this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast to talk about the making of his new, Ben Harper-produced album, Best of Luck . Stelling's journey is a fascinating one and we hear all about it: Mowing lawns in Florida so he could get his first guitar; honing his chops on the open mic circuit; discovering his first nylon-string guitar; his '50s Martin 00-17; getting signed to Anti- records; and even a brief stint building instruments alongside Rono mandolins in Boulder, Colorado. This is one of our favorite interviews to date and we wholeheartedly encourage you to check out Best of Luck . Stelling will also be appearing in the Fretboard Journal #46, out in April.
