Any accolades that anybody puts toward this band really makes me feel good, because I have devoted such a big part of my life to this band, making it what I want it to be. I didn't really fit well with what was going on in Nashville at the time. I was too loud, I was too bluesy, I was too a lot of things. I do more writing by myself than with anybody else. My best thing is sitting around the bus with a guitar, sitting around somewhere with a guitar, and having an idea. You never know where it'd come from. Songwriting is a God-given talent. I had been on the road for a long time and was not really getting anywhere. Bob Johnston, a friend of mine, had taken over Columbia in Nashville. He asked me if I wanted to come down. I did -- thank God I did. I just feel such freedom to do whatever. If a song's seven minutes or ten minutes long, then so be it - it's that long.I just thank God I can make a living doing something I enjoy as much as I do playing music. My next project will be a Christian album, another one. I wrote the songs for the ones you're referring to, but I want to do some of my old gospel favorites. That's what my next album's going to be. Some of our friends came and sat in with us, and it was just so much fun. We said, Hey, let's do this once in a while. We did them every year for a while, then we took it on the road. We've done eighteen now, I think. We didn't have a garage to rehearse in. We had to aggravate the folks in the house. But I got a chance to play in a beer joint, and that's how it started. When somebody like Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan would come to town, I would do a session. I did a few country sessions, but not a lot. I played with Marty Robbins. When Bob [Johnston] had somebody that he felt that I fit in with, he'd give me a call. |
