More From Rob Sheffield

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'd trapped myself in a script.... but to be scripted at all is to be prepackaged, programmed, pinned to a page. only the unwritten can truly live a life. so who i was, what i was, had to be unwritten.
Pages Scripts Unwritten
I am the outskirts of some non-existent town, the long-winded prologue to an unwritten book. i'm nobody, nobody. i don't know how to feel or think or love. i'm a character in a novel as yet unwritten, hovering in the air and undone before i've even existed, amongst the dreams of someone who never quite managed to breath life into me.
Dream Book Character
My father's songs don't intimidate me; my father's songs are my songs. my songs are his songs. there's no intimidation.
Song Father Intimidation
My best songs were written very quickly. just about as much time as it takes to write it down is about as long as it takes to write it...in writing songs i've learned as much from cezanne as i have from woody guthrie...it's not me, it's the songs. i'm just the postman, i deliver the songs...i consider myself a poet first and a musician second. i live like a poet and i'll die like a poet.
Song Writing Long
I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. there's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. well they're not good enough. write it! i want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. you're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. that's what i really think it is. well it's all right. well, how do you know? it's not done!

Our greatest songs are still unsung.
Song Greatest Song Stills
Along with some of the worst music of bob dylan's career ("self-portrait," 1970), this period produced some gems - including many songs recorded with the band in '67 but not released until years later.
Song Self Years
My mother wanted me to learn how to read music. she'd given fiddles to my two older brothers, but they'd rebelled. i came along and my father said, "oh, let peter enjoy himself." what she did was leave musical instruments all around the house. whistles, marimbas, squeeze boxes, a piano and organ. by age six or seven, i could bang out a simple tune on almost anything. i developed a good ear, so i didn't learn to read music until i taught myself at age eighteen, 'cause i was hearing so many good songs i couldn't possibly remember them all.
Mother Song Brother
Songs are kind of alive, i think; once you finish writing them, that doesn't mean that that's it for the song. it can have its own little life, i think.
