Stop Your Ears And Close Your Eyes

When My Wife Died, I Booked Myself Into The Studio Just To Work, To Occupy Myself.

I Got Really Excited About It. But Then We Went Into The Studio And Tried To Record Some With Different Musicians, And It Didn't Sound Good. It Didn't Work. So We Put Together The Album [unchained] With Just A Guitar And Myself.

We [with Rick Rubin] Would Focus On The Ones That We Did Like, That Felt Right And Sounded Right. And If I Didn't Like The Performance On That Song, I Would Keep Trying It And Do Take After Take Until It Felt Comfortable With Me And Felt That It Was Coming Out Of Me And My Guitar And My Voice As One, That It Was Right For My Soul.

Death And Hell Are Never Full, And Neither Are Men's Eyes.

One Day, I Just Decided I'm Ready To Go. So I Went Down With My Guitar And Sat On The Front Steps Of Sam Phillips Recording Studio.
