I'm So Happy. I Am Able To

I Feel Like My Best Work Is In Front Of Me. I'm In The Studio Now, And I'm Having An Amazing Time Making This New Album. It's Something I Can't Help.

They Know Who's Playing On What Tracks From The '60s And The '70s - Who The Guitar Player Is, Who The Drummer Is, Who The Producer Was, What Studio It Was Recorded In. That's How I Grew Up Listening To Music. We Bought Albums. We Read The Liner Notes. It Was Important To Know The Whole History Behind It.
