"This Is My First Album" dropped 25 years ago. I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with him in-depth about the album, how he got signed, and his frustration with it being delayed. Plus, I got a chance to speak with Dan Charnas, who met Kwest years before the album dropped, and signed him to American Records. If you got a chance, check them out:
