It`s something I`ve always loved doing. I`m not one of the artists who comes in and just does my bit. I`m there every second of every day. That`s my hands-on situation.
It`s not the case of turning in a bunch of songs and recording the next month. I think you`re looking for songs all year long and you`re writing all year long.
It can get a little costly if you try and leave it until then to write songs. But you`re writing all the time. You`re collecting songs. I`ve had songs that have been collected over a two-year period for my next record.
My father`s record collection was all country. That`s how I was exposed to it.
