More quotes by Amos Lee
My favorite time in music is probably 1970-75. Still Bill by Bill Withers, Harvest by Neil Young, John Prine's first album, James Taylor's One Man Dog-I hope I can bring the same sort of spirit I hear on those records.
Amos Lee

Amos Lee

I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
Amos Lee
I grew up working at a record store and listening to vinyl. Even if it's side A and B, there's always this continuity that really turned me on about music.
Amos Lee
I'm always flattered and honored when people cover my music or sing my songs, no matter where it is.
Amos Lee
As I've moved along - not only my life, but my career and things like that - you look at yourself and start going, 'Oh, man, are you still doing what you set out to do? Are the ideals you had still the same?' Sometimes you measure up and sometimes you don't.
