PHILADELPHIA — There's a song called "Fo Sho" on Kurt Vile's parenthetically titled new album "(Watch My Moves)" in which the Philadelphia guitarist boasts of his impressive longevity in the music game.
"I know I'm right, and I've been doing this a long time," Vile sings in his signature drawl over a loping, hypnotic groove. "Since before I was born."
Well, maybe not that long. But the 42-year-old songwriter, who was raised in Lansdowne and lives in Mount Airy, does make timeless music that’s unmistakably his own while also consciously drawing from his classic rock forebears.
