I've never made a record that didn't sound better than what was in my head - that's sort of my rule.
There's no love like a lost love and no pain like a broken heart.
There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
I grew up listening to spiritual music, Blind Willie Johnson and folk.
As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.
