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.

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.
