The future has a lot to do with the past.

Country music originates with the colloquial, rural aspects of white America. It's really, truly, rural white America's blues.

I've always been just kind of consumed by my own thoughts.

I tried to pay some small tribute to A Man and a Woman (1966) with the recurring musical theme.

In the past 3-4 years I've developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I'm able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis.

I needed to get into a nightclub and stand up and present the material that way. I needed to present it live.

Music's the one thing I try not to analyze. I don't want to destroy the magic that has always been there for me.
