I want to write music that will outlive me.

When I think of folk music, I think of topical songs. And I don't write topical songs.

I was really lost for a while in my teens. I was angry. But when I found music - Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell - it was a new discovery. It was a door to this other world where I wanted to be.

I don't really think of myself as a folk singer.

And when all your faith is gone let it be me, if it's a friend you need let it be me

Now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turnin' gold
And like the sky my soul is also turnin'
Turnin' from the past, at last and all I've left behind
