Way Should Equipment
That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.
Country Song Eclectic Style
I suppose ever since i was about 14, i remember listening to "sgt. pepper's," and i remember thinking, "how do you possibly write songs like that?" i remember starting to try and write songs around that age, but just sitting around with an acoustic guitar, and try to come up with ideas for songs, and that's just what i've done ever since. i just never really stopped doing that, i suppose.
Song Writing Thinking
I'm not an original composer. the tunes are not stolen from other tunes necessarily except in a few cases, but they're in the style of songs that i grew up with.
Song Style Tunes
This is an album of songs that i've always loved, tunes that i heard. for the first time in 53 years of recording, i really had control over an entire album, start to finish.

Well, led zeppelin iv! that's it really. i'll tell you why the album had no title - because we were so fed up with the reactions to the third album, that people couldn't understand why that record wasn't a direct continuation of the second album. and then people said we were a hype and all, which was the furthest thing from what we were. so we just said, `let's put out an album with no title at all!' that way, either people like it or they don't... but we still got bad reviews!
