About one or two songs per record is me doing a little bloodletting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I'm gonna do more songs on my own.
I'd sometimes do 50, 60 takes of song.
I have a whole lot of songs.
I've been writing songs all along, and since moving to Nashville in the late-'80s, I'd begun writing something like 15-20 songs a year, instead of the typical three or four in previous years.
I'd never written a song before 'The Blood'; I didn't know it was going to be a song.
I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.
I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.
I could write six songs in one day with everything that's going on.
I go through a thousand songs to find ten for a new record.
I had 25 or 30 songs. Sequencing the record, I left that to the producer. I'm not into doing that stuff.
