No, I've Never Thought That I Was

I'm A Grandfather Now.

Possibly The Whole Creative Whirlwind Of Any Musician's Life Is Based On Garnering And Developing And Absorbing More And More Experience.

I Kind Of Disguise My Limitations By Hanging Out With Very Talented People. The Excitement Of The Collision Between The Microphone-twirling Guy From 1966 To Now Is Just A Fantastic Adventure. There Aren't Many Of Us Left And I've Managed To Kind Of Cover My Tracks Pretty Good.

Since I Was A Kid, I've Had An Absolute Obsession With Particular Kinds Of American Music. Mississippi Delta Blues Of The Thirties, Chicago Blues Of The Fifties, West Coast Music Of The Mid-sixties - But I'd Never Really Touched On Dark Americana.

Each Album Comes From Definitely A Different Period In The Evolution Of Each Of Us Individually As Creators And The Role That We Take In Life. The External Stimuli Changed... So The Songs Are Full Of Lots Of Different Meanings.
