Beneath The Stains Of Time

Gospel Music Was The Thing That Inspired Me As A Child Growing Up On A Cotton Farm, Where Work Was Drudgery And It Was So Hard That When I Was In The Field I Sang All The Time. Usually Gospel Songs Because They Lifted Me Up Above That Black Dirt.

All Music Comes From God.

It Was Kind Of A Prodding Myself To Play I Walk The Line Straight.

Rick Rubin Had His Hair - I Don't Think It's Ever Been Cut And Very - Dresses Like A Hobo, Usually - Clean But . Was The Kind Of Guy I Really Felt Comfortable With, Actually. I Think I Was More Comfortable With Him Than I Would Have Been With A Producer With A Suit On.

I Would Take Songs That I'd Loved As A Child And Redo Them In My Mind For The New Voice I Had, The Low Voice.
