Kurt Vile has released “How Lucky,” an intimate duet with the late John Prine, from his forthcoming EP Speed, Sound, Lonely KV. The folk ballad is as amazing as one would expect from two generations of the genre’s most prolific singer/songwriters.

The EP also includes covers of John Prine and “Cowboy” Jack Clement, as well as two originals. They were recorded with members of The Black Keys as well as with Matt Sweeney from Chavez and Superwolf.

Speed, Sound, Lonely KV (ep) is out October 2. Listen to “How Lucky” below.
