I Don't Need Any Drug To Show

I Speak My Mind And Come From A Place Of Conscience, As Well As Have Fun As A Musician.

I'm Sure I Would Have Been Considered A More Significant Artist If I Was A Singer-songwriter. It's Just Not The Way I Roll. I Love Being A Curator And A Musicologist. People Write Me Letters And Thank Me For Turning Them On To Fred Mcdowell And Sippie Wallace, And That's Partly My Job This Time Around.

'i Will Not Be Broken' Has Really Become Very Healing For Me. Any Time You Go Through A Cataclysmic Event... It's Going To Inform The Richness That You Sing From... The Experiences Of Life Make All Your Emotions, I Think, Deeper.

I Didn't Have To Be A Pop Singer With A Certain Look. When I Started, There Was Really A Revolution In Natural Artists With Blues And Folk Artists Crossing Over; Otherwise, I Wouldn't Have Been Able To Get Started.

It's Very Personal In California To Live Within Hours, And Sometimes Just A Few Miles, Of Earthquake Faults When Nuclear Plants Were Being Built.
