I think somewhere in the back of my mind I've always wanted to make a whole swing album.

Where I grew up, Bob Wills and his western swing was very popular. And western swing is not that far from jazz and blues.

Swing is my favorite kind of music.

I wanted to bring the R&B flavor and other Westernized sounds to my music, because that's the type of music I grew up listening to.

Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.

I've been playing swing chords for a long time.

I discovered in college that country music could be fun adding some swing to it.
