Stereo Embers The Podcast 0068: Hugh Harris (The Kooks)

“Richie Sambora And The Absence Of Democracy”

Hugh Harris didn’t have a ton of time to chat, but we made good use of what we had. In this interview with the guitarist for the Kooks, we
talk about Richie Sambora, crying on airplanes and why Harris loves
being on the road. He also addresses the absence of democracy when
making a solo record, why new cities fill him with optimism and
seeking out the horns of Havana on a recent sojourn to Cuba. It’s a
fast conversation, but it’s a good one that also covers Johnny Marr, the limitations of the guitar and whether or not Kooks singer Luke Pritchard is in Harris’ head.
