The keys legend tells us about the idea behind the covers-heavy shows, their relationship with Bob Dylan, and bringing out deep cuts like “Heartbreaker’s Beach Party.” Tench also discusses why he says that Wildflowers wasn’t really a solo album, the unreleased songs that are still in the vault, and his reluctance to ever perform as The Heartbreakers again.
