Cool moments include growing up practically living in Eddy Raven's house, hanging out with B.B. King, in the studio with Robert Reynolds and the Mavericks, having dinner with Brian Setzer, partying with Travis Tritt early in his career, bar-b-q's at Judy Hoffman's where a dozen great writers and hot-at-the-moment artists would show, growing up with Johnny Cash, being able to say my first girlfriend was Georgette Jones (fifth grade) and fishing on Tammy Wynette's property...

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....

Sessions: Vetiver

“It’s always slightly confounding to me whenever Vetiver is depicted with the same tropes that people have read off of press sheets,” says Andy Cabic. “The same sort of milestones get mentioned but then no one really digs to find out that there are those other things going on.”

Spoon: The Power of Transference

In 1995, Spoon were often dubbed “the next Pixies.” The tag never quite fit, but the two did share a love for writing glorious pop songs and then shrouding them with walls of noise and mystery.
