As funny as it sounds, the best thing I got out of making a solo record was to realize how much I love being in a band.

I think that was the whole idea behind doing the solo record was to be able to do musically whatever I wanted to do.

I didn't make a solo album until the year 2000.

Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.

I never envisioned myself as a solo artist; I was always part of a band.

By the time my first solo record came out, I was making a handsome living as a record producer. I had worked with the Band, Janis Joplin and all of these other artists in the Albert Grossman organization. So as my so-called solo career evolved, I never felt pressure that I had to come back and top when I might've done before.

I thought I'd do everything on four-track, and then I'll record every instrument myself in a studio, and then I'll have a solo album released by spring.

I never imagined I'd be a solo artist. And now I couldn't imagine being part of a group.

I did a lot of writing for a lot of different kinds of bands that I was in and out of during those five years and that left me with a little body of songs that I liked better when I played alone, so I ended up going out solo and very soon made my first album.
