In this episode of 4/4, Lola Kirke tells host Pat Healy about her latest release, “Lady for Sale,” and how she and producer Austin Jenkins tapped into a 1980s country music sound that not many contemporary musicians have had the nerve to bring back. She says although she didn’t necessarily like Nashville country as a kid, she grew to appreciate the songwriting involved in songs like “Seven Year Ache” by Rosanne Cash and “Pour Me Another Tequila” by Eddie Rabbitt. “I began to really fall in love with this era of country,” she says. “It’s so fun and so witty and so sad in a way that I can really understand.” Lola Kirke also discusses whether she feels more like herself when singing or acting, what it was like to grow up in a household where everyone else had British accents—her sister is Jemima Kirk, and her dad is drummer Simon Kirke—and which band of her father’s she likes better, Free or Bad Company.

The 4/4 interview series from Berklee Online is both a thoughtful and playful conversation with each episode’s guest. Host and seasoned music journalist Pat Healy asks four reverent questions—and four irreverent ones—ensuring each interview provides fresh insight into every musician that even their biggest fans won’t know.
