Kevn Kinney and Anna Jensen: Her Living Tribute to the Art of His Sound E105

What if a tribute didn’t wait for the final chapter? We sit down with artist-producer Anna Jensen and songwriter Kevn Kinney to unpack Let’s Go Dancing, a 100-song, multi-year celebration that reimagines Kevn’s catalog—solo and with Drivin N Cryin—while pairing each release with original artwork. Born from a lockdown birthday idea, the project became a living archive where legends, locals, and rising voices reinterpret songs and, in the process, open new doors for listeners to discover bands they might have missed.

Anna pulls back the curtain on the unglamorous work: thousands of emails, clearances, timelines, and a painting cadence that often demands a finished piece in a week or two. She explains how lyric imagery sparked four anchor albums and how curating rather than assigning songs led to better fits and braver performances. Kevn talks about hearing his work return in new shapes and why those covers have made him more flexible in the studio.

If you love discovery, backstories, and art that meets music at full speed, this one’s for you. Follow the series via Tasty Goody Records, queue up the Let’s Go Dancing playlist, and tell us the cover that surprised you most. If the conversation moves you, share it with a friend and leave a quick review—it helps others find the music and the makers behind it.
