After attending their Montreal concert two weeks ago, I got the idea from a common friend to give Jay a call, and ask him to answer couple of questions, to make you guys discover his band, his love for music, and his passions in life.

Hope you guys like the interview as much as I liked doing it.

Thanks a lot Jay. You are a great guy! GREAT things are coming for you! And thanks to Talita to make it happen, and to Ian for the always helpful hand.

Daily-Rock Quebec: Thanks a lot for taking the time for this interview Jay. It’s really appreciated.

Jay Buchanan: It’s my pleasure. Thanks for the interest.

DRQ: Rival Sons just finished touring Canada. How was it?

DRQ: Talking about that….is there any differences in playing as an opening band, and playing as a headliner?

DRQ: Rival Sons has 3 studio albums….is your recording approach is the same on every record? (Rival Sons have actually 4 studio albums, if we count the EP that was released in 2011)
The next studio album of Rival Sons will be recorded in January in Nashville, like their previous CD Head Down.
