I make records all the time. But making records is not quite the same as getting them to the audience.

I started writing rather late in the game. I was fascinated about the story about how Bob Dylan, for 'Nashville Skyline,' wrote between takes. So I'd try to sing new songs off the top of my head. I had rather less than spectacular success on that. But a lot of my songs were done that way.

All my writing takes place during the recording of the master tapes. I never do have songs when I start up an album. I actually write them while I record.
