I'm a painter first, and a musician second.
What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys and modalities mid-song.
You've got to keep the child alive; you can't create without it.
Will you take me as I am? Strung out on another man...California, I'm comin' home.
The songwriting was almost like something I did while I was waiting for my daughter to come back.
I didn't think I had much of a following in the South. I thought I was anonymous down there so I kept to the South. But I found in certain pockets that I was quite recognizable and I just hit a wig store.
