I've been in LA for 5 years now, and it's been very freeing creatively.
From Deana Carter
I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.
I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.
Our live show is a definite experience, since it's an extension of my albums.
But once you become successful, everyone has an idea of what you should do.
Nashville has a formula, and it works a lot of the time, but it wasn't right for me. They're afraid to step outside the box - even though, with me, my success came because I was outside of the box to begin with.
There's a lot of freedom for me living in L.A.
Once you get away from where you're from, you look at it in a different way.
The songs come from a vulnerable place, but expressing that part of yourself can also make you feel fearless.
I'm a big fan of '70s records where artists could draw on whatever influences they wanted.
