It's a rite of passage for the everyman, to a higher ground.

It was 22 years of work in a row, right up until 1987. Twenty-two years in a row-either on tour, writing an album, or recording an album. It wasn't until 1987 that I was able to take a breath.

I like people to just bring it to the table and feel the moment. And that's why I've never done a session where I don't sing live.

I always loved music. You know, my parents said I started singing when I was 4, in the car.

I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well.

Yeah, I'm just blessed to have this very strong thing, my vocals. I'm very healthy in that regard.

Sometimes you can hear them talk, other times you can't. All the same old cliches, is that a woman or a man?
