I was reading about how when you guys write stuff you just get together and start playing, and there’s not a whole lot of discussion, right?
We’ve always written by playing, and “jamming” is a word that I’m not a big fan of, but that’s what is when we get together and play. No, we never really talk and say, “Well, lets do something in the style of Otis Redding,” or this or that artist, or that song. You know, we just play. And of course we do have our influences, and that motivates us and influences how we play and the kind of songs we write.”
