I'm still driving along on the pop freeway of life. Thinking even further into the future, I definitely want to make an acoustic record. I want to try lots of different things.

I have been playing acoustic music for a very long time, and it's something that I am very comfortable doing, so if I made a record, it would probably be a mixture of that and some other things that I'm interested in.

I'm always going to do that - record and make music.

One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.

In recording, you're trying to make something work sonically - getting the right inflection on the right guitar sound - and maybe a part that would be musically great doesn't sound as cool. On paper, though, it's all stripped back. The musical idea is the one that wins.

I'm making music the way I would have done before modern equipment and music recording.

I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.

Creating sounds together with other musicians is something I've always liked doing.

My son and I run a string company, and he has a studio there, and I go down sometimes and we'll record.

Sometimes you make a record that is what you want to hear. I've made a couple of those, idealized creations of what I wanted to hear. Then there are records that are what you feel.
