Some guys record an album with songs that are filler. I recorded this album like it was my last.

There's a bootleg album that was recorded when I was 14 or 15, a compilation of things live at different clubs. Songs like Girl from Ipanema and Cry Me A River. I don't know what the title of it is.

I recorded my first jazz record in the '70s.

I'm competitive in that I would like to outsell my last record.

Every song is like a painting.

I always wanted a guitar. I always wanted to be a cowboy singer because I also listened to Hank Williams, and he would always sing these neat romantic songs.
