Are you completely satisfied about your last work?
Yes , I really had fun in the studio and the live part was recorded directly to disc so that people could take it with them that evening. I love this concept, really live, no changes after the fact. And even when Victoria Williams called in on a cell phone and they held it up to the mic - I had no idea that was going to happen.

Wich are the most important ispiration for doing this new album?
It started with the live set, and wanting to do some work with Sweet Relief, a musicians fund to help musicians with medical needs etc. Victoria Williams started it and I have been playing with her and singing with her so we decided to record something as well for it. She is a great lady and a very good friend. I was a big fan before I met her, so I am proud to be associated with her.

Is There some others artists that you think important to reccomend us?
I like my friend Matt The Electrician and Libby Kirkpatrick , both who live in Austin , Texas

Are there some others projects for the your future?
I am recording with Ben Harper now in the studio , doing my songs , he is producing and playing on it as well , Very Exciting

Is there something in your album that you don't like enough?
It all could always be better, but I am happy that it is real , like a relationship , like getting to know someone.
