I Am Not A Christian Artist, I

Rick Rubin Said, Well, I Don't Know That We Will Sell Records. He Said, I Would Like You To Go With Me And Sit In My Living Room With A Guitar And Two Microphones And Just Sing To Your Heart's Content Everything You Ever Wanted To Record. I Said, That Sounds Good To Me. So I Did That. And Day After Day, Three Weeks, I Sang For Him.

Gospel Music Was The Thing That Inspired Me As A Child Growing Up On A Cotton Farm, Where Work Was Drudgery And It Was So Hard That When I Was In The Field I Sang All The Time. Usually Gospel Songs Because They Lifted Me Up Above That Black Dirt.

I Always Loved Those Songs. And With My High Tenor, I Thought I Was Pretty Good - You Know? - Almost As Good As Dennis Day.

All Your Life, You Will Be Faced With A Choice. You Can Choose Love Or Hate…i Choose Love.

I Knew I Wanted To Sing When I Was A Very Small Boy. When I Was Probably 4 Years Old. My Mother Played A Guitar And I Would Sit With Her And She Would Sing And I Learned To Sing Along With Her.
