I play them because they're hit songs. I play them because I like the songs. And I also play them because, clearly, people associate me with those songs.

en The biggest thing to me is that ['Version 2.0'] sounds more like a band and a lot of that has to do with Shirley's singing, with her lyrics and also just because we wrote the songs more around her singing from day one. Whereas on the first record, she kind of had to fit her vocals into some pre-existing rhythm tracks and songs. This time almost all the songs started with her,

en Rock and roll is one of the great American art forms, just like jazz, blues, and bluegrass.

Nowhere!

en There's so much more subtlety to this new recording. There's a subtlety in the playing. There's also a subtlety in the way I approached the singing.

He's the kind of producer who puts his trust in the musicians.

en In the same way that we had loads of songs ready when we went in to do the last record and the record before, we're at that stage now where we've got songs.

No matter what anybody has to say about your recordings, I think people are pretty surprised sometimes when they come to see us that we not only have such a great body of songs to play for them but also we indulge in improvisation so much that the songs actually take on a life of their own from night to night. We never really repeat ourselves.

en We're not trying to replace Layne. We want to play these songs one more time, and if it seems like the right thing to do, it'll happen. I don't know how long it will go or where it will take us. It's kind of a tribute to Layne and our fans, the people who love these songs.
