Here's the official trailer for Walter "Yukon" Yates' second book, Return to Post River | The Last True Frontier. My admiration for Walter is beyond words—in his passion for living, sense of adventure, wild-eyed curiosity for the wilderness and uncharted lands, pioneer spirit and wisdom. Over the past three years, I've fallen in love with his vigor and stories, and am beyond honored to be editing his second book. I hope you can find a renewed sense of adventure and inspiration in his stories too. P.S. That's me flyin' high in the crimson and mustard 1946 J-5 Cub Cruiser in the take-off scene.

As a young girl, I always thought that ‘following your heart’ meant following the person you gave your heart to. And believe me, I’ve chased that notion to all ends of the country and beyond, thinking those beautiful lost boys, those seeming Peter Pan incarnations could guide me on an endless...

“I was driving out into the Mexican desert with a shaman, and we were on our way to a peyote ceremony. We’d just eaten the peyote, and the shaman turned on the radio, and started playing The Talking Heads. He was this little indigenous dude, just banging on the steering wheel and singing along to The Talking Heads at the top of his lungs. I thought we were supposed to be contemplating life, so I said: ‘Are you sure the radio should be on right now? Is that how the ceremony is supposed to work?’ And he said: ‘This is exactly how it’s supposed to work.’ So I just shut up and rolled with it.”

My latest piece on Anders Osborne, following an interview at Telluride Blues & Brews Festival and a Jam In the Van sesh.  "Climbing Mount Olympus really changed me in a lot of ways. I was 18 and drinking Ouzo with the villagers—getting hammered, having a blast—it was a painful experience. I made it to the summit, but I was too hungover and fucked up to make it 200 more yards. I failed, and that stayed with me,” he said. “Journeys take a lot of preparation.”

"{Asli} Omar is beautiful to speak to--both physically and spiritually. She’s poetic by nature and speaks just as eloquently. And that inner-outward beauty is as vibrant as the colorful foremothers of sultry soul music like Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. She gracefully carries notes you can hear and feel; and you can’t help but sing along. She’s a vixen. Collectively, those qualities adhese the group in a way that produces sultry, funk, rock--all infused with a little experiment and surprise."
