I Am Not A Christian

I Got Really Excited About It. But Then We Went Into The Studio And Tried To Record Some With Different Musicians, And It Didn't Sound Good. It Didn't Work. So We Put Together The Album [unchained] With Just A Guitar And Myself.

The Ones That You're Calling Wild Are Going To Be The Leaders In A Little While.

Sam Phillips Asked Me To Go Write A Love Song, Or Maybe A Bitter Weeper. So I Wrote A Song Called, "cry Cry Cry," Went Back In And Recorded That For The Other Side Of The Record.

I'm Thankful For A Pair Of Shoes That Feel Really Good On My Feet; I Like My Shoes. I'm Thankful For The Birds; I Feel Like They're Singing Just For Me When I Get Up In The Morning... Saying, 'good Morning, John. You Made It, John.' I'm Thankful For The Sea Breeze That Feels So Good Right Now, And The Scent Of Jasmine When The Sun Starts Going Down. I'm Thankful.

It Just Took The Right Time. I Was Fully Confident That I Was Going To See Sam Phillips And To Record For Him That When I Called Him, I Thought, I'm Going To Get On Sun Records. So I Called Him And He Turned Me Down Flat. Then Two Weeks Later, I Got Turned Down Again. He Told Me Over The Phone That He Couldn't Sell Gospel Music So - As It Was Independent, Not A Lot Of Money.
