We started with Denny Cordell, and he was a great record producer. He knew exactly how to take a band that knew absolutely nothing, and guide you without trying to tell you what to do.

Working with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson takes you up another level.

If you call attention to yourself at the expense of the song, that's the cardinal sin.

I think we've always been better live.

I loved Mal Evans holding one note down on You Won't See Me from Rubber Soul.

You can go crazy and play solos in the right place, and that's great because it can intensify and bring an emotional lift. But the thing is you don't want to get in the way of the song.

I try to find little things that you can do to move the song along and things that serve the song.
