![]() If i don't have a thesis, i am crippled as a writer. Do you ever feel creating music within a specific concept can hinder the writing process? Your albums tend to stick pretty closely to a central theme. it came when i wrote "sugarface" for Bird Peterson. the language on this one, though the least formal, was the hardest to get. when i finally get the language, the rest of the album starts to come easier. i work actively to change it from each album, and it is always the most important part of the process. Language is the most important lynchpin of every album. Do you consider your most recent two records departures from your previous work or just the product of your gradual evolution as a songwriter? The language used in your most recent two albums (both of which I love) seems to be more informal and loose than in your previous stuff. the obligation of love, in the face of great obstacle. That is an over arching theme through the entire album. she she got all dressed up, and opened the doors.out of a sense of obligation. she didn't know anything about running it, didn't know the costs of some stuff, didn't know where anything was, but she said, it just didn't feel right for it to not be open. one of my tour mates got to talking to her, and come to find out, it was her husband's store. She was smartly dressed, and like a beautiful little bird. it was a huge place, and a little old lady was working there alone. I found the collection in an antique shop in Camden, Arkansas. all of them are book titles.books i have never read. i wrote down all the titles, and used them for the album titles on Pomegranate. I found a collection of old adventure books, from like, a book of the month club from the 50's or so.
