 I'm still trying to re-create a Ray Charles concert that I heard when I was fifteen years old, and all my nerve endings were fried and transformed, and electricity shot through me. |
| My songwriting and my style became more complex as I listened, learned, borrowed and stole and put my music together. |
| I think that it can be said of a lot of artists, and myself included, that we made the same record over and over from the beginning. |
| I would say that I'm finding my voice in more ways than one. |
| I listened to classical guitar and Spanish guitar, as well as jazz guitar players, rock and roll and blues. All of it. I did the same thing with my voice. |
| I love working with the quartet. I have more freedom and flexibility. |
| I am not a jazz singer. I wouldn't place myself on that footing. I wouldn't even enter that arena. |
