This is part one of our interview with Jeff. There was so much great stuff in the interview that we had to create two parts.

Jeff King is one of the top session and touring guitarists in Nashville, TN. He is known for his musicality, amazing tones, and his ability to create a fun atmosphere in any room. Jeff has played live or in the studio for Faith Hill, Reba McEntire, Mindy McCready, Patty Loveless, Lee Roy Parnell, Ty Herndon, Jo Dee Messina, Randy Travis, Bryan White, Billy Ray Cyrus, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Statler Brothers, Alabama, Art Garfunkel, Rhett Akins, BlackHawk, Chely Wright, Trace Adkins, Julie Roberts, Josh Turner, Luke Bryan, Kenny Loggins, Lee Brice, Englebert Humperdinck, Montgomery Gentry, and so many more.

In part 1 Jacob and Jeff talk about his early days in East Tennessee, playing his plywood guitar, a few of his pranks, how he got his start in the Nashville touring and session scene, and the time he rode around on Rick Hall’s tractor.
