Because You're Mine, I Walk

My Contract With Mercury Polygram Nashville Was About To Expire. And I Never Had Really Been Happy. The Company, The Record Company, Just Didn't Put Any Promotion Behind Me. I Think One Album, Maybe The Last One I Did, They Pressed 500 Copies. And I Was Just Disgusted With It. And About That Time That I Got To Feeling That Way, Lou Robin, My Manager, Came To Me And Talked To Me About A Man Called Rick Rubin That He Had Been Talking To That Wanted Me To Sign With His Record Company.

Come On Boys, You Must Listen Unto Me, Lay Off The Whiskey And Let That Cocaine Be.

Sam Phillips Always Encouraged Me To Do It My Way, To Use Whatever Other Influences I Wanted, But Never To Copy...if There Hadn't Been A Sam Phillips, I Might Still Be Working In A Cotton Field.

I'm Very Shy Really. I Spend A Lot Of Time In My Room Alone Reading Or Writing Or Watching Television.

Convicts Are The Best Audience I Ever Played For.
