The Modern Video Games Kind Of -

That Culture, Of Looking At Catchy Music As A Negative Thing, Is Weird. It Has Nothing To Do With Me, Or The Music I Was Into Growing Up. The Stones And The Beatles Only Tried To Write Hits. Every Motown Song, Every Credence Clearwater Song - They Were Trying To Write Hits.

I Started Playing Bluegrass With My Family, So There Were The G, C And D Chords. I Was Playing A Martin Acoustic Because That's What Carter Stanley Of The Stanley Brothers Played. Then I Got Into The Really Raw Blues Of Hound Dog Taylor And Started On Electric Guitar.

I Feel Like I Live In My Own Little World, To Be Honest. I Mean, I Love My Record, But I Don't Feel Tied To It. I Sort Of Created My Own Little Universe In The Studio, And That's Why All Of Those Musicians Who Made A Living In The Nashville Music Scene Loved Coming Over To My Place So Much.

When I'm Writing With Just An Acoustic Guitar, It Can Be For Anyone.

I'm Sure You Feel Differently About Writing Than You Did When You First Started. When You Get Older And Your Brain Changes, You Have To Figure Out How Your Job Fits Into Your Life As It Changes, You Know What I Mean? I Guess Everybody Goes Through That Stuff, And I'm No Exception, Always Trying To Figure Out What I'm Doing With Music.
