More quotes by Amos Lee
I don't know anyone who is a writer who isn't influenced by the relationships in their life.
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
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.
Amos Lee
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
Amos Lee
I'm not a mass-appeal artist.
Amos Lee
I live a pretty anonymous life.
Amos Lee
I like down-to-earth people.
Amos Lee
If you're a novelist, you have sort of themes that run throughout novels. You start a novel and you finish a novel. With record-making in the singer-songwriter world or whatever it is that I do, it's a little different because there is no specific arc that is necessarily, like it's not a concept record.
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 do not go on my Wikipedia page. There's just too much weird information on there for me to pick apart.
Amos Lee
I wasn't a very good teacher.
Amos Lee
Theres nothing but spirit in music. Thats all it is. Yeah, theres a lot of intellectual elements to it, but no matter how you approach it, its all spirit.
Amos Lee
Country artists have advantages all over the place. The radio support is incredible. The fanbase is rabid, all over.
Amos Lee
I love what I do, so I don't mind working.
Amos Lee
I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.
Amos Lee
As an experience, as a listener, for me, I miss the record store. I miss going in and knowing the guy at the counter and being like, Hey, knowing that he was going to hate the record I put on the counter, and still buying it. That takes some guts.
Amos Lee
I'm always flattered and honored when people cover my music or sing my songs, no matter where it is.
Amos Lee
I don't really know what 'folk music' means anymore.
Amos Lee
The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.
Amos Lee
People love music, they're always going to love music, it's our job to consistently push ourselves as artists to keep delivering stuff for people to stay engaged with.
