“No matter the destination, sometimes it really is all about the journey”

“But this record in particular, The Crossing, really kind of took on a life of it’s own. And I think it’s because of the fact that I made it in another country; I made it in Italy, with Italian musicians. Before that, Antonio Gramentieri, who is the co-writer on this record, flew over to Dallas, and we hung out here, we wrote, then we drove to Austin and we took 67, 281 on the way back, so we visited a lot of little Texas towns and got a feel … And suddenly we were aware that we were onto something. So I think the combination of his music, my lyrics, and just the sense of what those two countries kind of possess is what made this record so important.”
