Now Love's The Only Thing That's Free

I May Be Revered Or Defamed And Decried; But I Tried To Live My Life Right.

Love's A Recurring Theme Through My Work.

My Old Man's Got A Problem, He Lives With The Bottle.

Everyone Is Looking For Connections Between The Songs. I Don't Usually Approach A Record As A Concept. There's No Overriding Theme I'm Trying To Represent. It's All About The Individual Songs.

Growing Up In Cleveland, I Learned About Singing From My Mother, Who Had Once Sung Professionally And Who Admired Mahalia Jackson And Aretha Franklin.
