Kurt Vile & The Violators and The Sadies

Overview

Released in God's year of 2026, the 250th anniversary of the founding of America in Kurt Vile's fine city of Philadelphia, Philadelphia's been good to me finds one of our nation's greatest songwriters staking a claim on his hometown.

Artist's Perspective

"This is my 'bringing it all back home to Philly' record," Vile says. "I'm treating it like my last one. I put everything into it. It's my best vocal record. It's my best electric guitar record. It's my most organic record, made in the comfort of my own zone."

Context and Style

Make no mistake: Philadelphia's been good to me is the sound of Philly's constant hitmaker coming back to kick ass, son the haters, and put on for the City of Brotherly Love - and in true Kurt Vile fashion, doing so while sounding more relaxed than ever. Between the 250th anniversary of America and its hosting of select World Cup games, 2026 is shaping up to be a big deal for Philadelphia.

Identity

"And then there's one other thing," Vile says. "I gotta be that third thing. Because I am Philadelphia."
