“When you play the bars, you pay your dues. It does matter that you know those things [songs]. And the great thing for me, too, is that I draw on that stuff as influences. It's also stuff that you put in the tank that you pull from to make records.” KnowsDoeMatterPlaySongStuffPayRecordsInfluenceDrawsDuesBarsGreat ThingsTanks Author:Eric Church
“Musically, between me and my fans and also me and my team, who between management and record label have always just let me be me, it's fun to pave a path.

“Playboys' was an authentic junkie record. Art Pepper was just out of jail, Chet was arrested a week after the session, and piano player Carl Perkins would die two years later. When the record was recorded I was behind bars myself. In 1955 I was caught with narcotics and had to serve almost five years. Luckily, I was allowed to keep my saxophone in the cell, and I composed a lot during the time. They had to come fetch the music for Playboys from jail.” YearsArtTwoDiesBehindsRecordsFivePlayerWeekCaughtBarsCellsPianoFive YearsTwo YearsJailSessionArrestedJunkiePlayboyPeppersSaxophoneNarcoticsFetch Author:Jimmy Heath
