WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

Songwriter Blake Mills might not be comfortable with being called a "guitar wizard" but that doesn't stop Marc from unapologetically slapping that title on him. Blake tells Marc how the sight of Kurt Cobain with a guitar led him down the path to becoming a solo recording artist, an accomplished producer, and an accompanist for a plethora of fellow musicians.
