Myles Kennedy Comes Through Detroit | Talkin' Rock with Meltdown

It was great to get a visit from one of the premiere talents in rock Myles Kennedy, who came through Detroit to promote his upcoming solo album, The Art Of Letting Go.
What does that title mean? Myles explained. “I think it just kind of represented where I am in life at, as many years I’ve been on the planet, which is just trying to learn the art of kind of chilling out, you know, and not being so attached to things. And I like a lot of times I find when I’m attached to something and want something to turn out a certain way, you know, you become reactive. And I just, I just like I’m over it. I just want to be I just want to be happy and just learn to, go with the flow.”
It always intrigues me when guys right solo material. I’m always curious about what makes the album and what doesn’t. Myles said you have to trust your instincts.
Some may know, but Myles and former Detroit Lions kicker Jason Hanson went to school together in Spokane, Washinton. “You want to be this great, but it was hard to keep up with Jason in every way, not just with sports. He was also a great soccer player. But here he was, an incredible student and he and he also played trumpet. I played trumpet as well, so he was always first chair. I was always second chair, second or third. I could never beat. One time, I beat Jason in auditions. He’s super-human.”
