“After my second-to-last record called "The Greatest," I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, not anger towards myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.” YearsKindSelfPlayLastsChallengesGoneRecordsFiveSelf EsteemInstrumentsEsteemFive YearsDisappointedChallenging Myself Author:Cat Power

“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
