My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops. ↗

On the first album I was saying, that's just one part of me. And then I was thinking, well, am I going to hide the rest of me now just because I'm afraid of something? No. I'm just going to be myself. ↗

I put out a recording of me singing mostly jazz because I wanted people to know I'm coming from a jazz background. ↗

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it. ↗

When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas. ↗

I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television. ↗
