    Jay Buchanan of Rival Sons returns (video)

    this episode of SPIN Presents Lipps Service with Scott Lipps, Scott sits down with Jay Buchanan of Rival Sons for a deep and revealing conversation about his debut solo album Weapons of Beauty.
    Jay reflects on performing at Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s final show, Back to the Beginning, and what it meant to witness the end of an era from the stage. From there, the conversation shifts into his most personal work yet — a stripped-down, acoustically driven record written in isolation in a Mojave Desert bunker and produced by Dave Cobb.
    Jay opens up about the album’s themes of grief, vulnerability, and storytelling, the creative process behind Weapons of Beauty, and why this project couldn’t exist within Rival Sons. He also discusses getting the call to appear in Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, the influence of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, new Rival Sons music, and his all-time favorite singer-songwriters.
    A raw, introspective conversation with one of rock’s most powerful voices.
