I was born the son of a lawless man, always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand.

You got to fight for quality art and equality and all the things that we're fighting for, the things we believe in. Choice and preference and all those things that we support. We don't want to give up that fight. You got to keep doing it.

In the tradition of the classic songwriter rooms like The Bluebird in Nashville, Strange Brew is a gift to the music community in Austin, for artists and audiences alike

The writers that I aspire to, like Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman, they'll tell you that the work gets harder, not easier. And they set that bar for us where we're always striving to do something better than the last time, whether it's the next song or just the next line.

We certainly strive for trying to make a quality record throughout, and I think that's true of all of our records.

I think too many artists from my era tend to just stamp out a record.

All the words of wisdom sound the same.
