“We went to South America on a trip and all I had was a Robert Johnson album. So that's a definite influence on the album. My bandmates John [Stanier, drummer] and Henry [Bogdan, bassist] were interested in expanding their roles as writers, so that had a positive impact on the record.” AmericaRolesRecordsInfluenceImpactSouthAlbumsDefiniteExpandingJohnsonDrummerSouth AmericaPositive ImpactBassists Author:Page Hamilton

“People keep asking me if recently performing the Betty album will influence the song-writing and I think it might. There's songs on that record that I forgot about and it's really nice to have that variety in the set along with tracks from Strap It On, Meantime, Aftertaste, Size Matters, Monochrome, and Seeing Eye Dog.” PeopleIfsThinkingWritingMatterMightEyeSongRecordsNiceSeeingInfluenceDogAskingSizeTrackAlbumsVarietyPerformingReally NiceMonochrome Author:Page Hamilton
