Quote

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.

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.

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.
