The A.V. Club has a new video series called One Track Mind, in which artists play songs and tell the stories behind those songs — a pocket version of VH1 Storytellers, sort of. The latest entry features Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn, whose solo debut Clear Heart Full Eyes is out in a couple of weeks. In the clip, he plays the Clear Heart story-song “Jackson” in his apartment and tells the A.V. Club’s cameras a bit about it. Watch the interview segment below, and the full song at the A.V. Club.

Clear Heart Full Eyes is out 1/24 on Vagrant.
