The Creekdippers Quotes

I don't think that to connect with the album as a listener, it's important at all. Most of the things I write about are conflicts that come from inside and how they resolve. But at that time in my life, with the things that were going down, it really helped. I was able to imagine things because I didn't have anyone to talk to. For a long time my life has been pretty full, and all of a sudden it emptied out.

I think that was more with the Creekdippers. With the Jayhawks, it was very organized. When I worked with the Creekdippers, we would do more gonzo recordings where we would just play 20 songs two times apiece, and that would be the album. We did one album where I wrote it in two days and recorded it in two days. I did the whole record in five days. But I reached the point where that had to stop. It goes for my writing. Once I start working on something, I pretty much get it stuck in my brain until I feel like it's done. When I'm not writing, I don't pick up the guitar, because once I start doing it, it's hard to put it down.
