I Knew I Was In

I'd Been To Memphis Before, But We Stayed Out Of Memphis Early On In The Late 70s For Obvious Reasons. People Were Very Sensitive About Elvis Presley, And My Stage Name Obviously Would Be Provocative To Some People In That Area At That Time.

Morrissey Writes Wonderful Song Titles, But Sadly He Often Forgets To Write The Song.

I Just Got Into It Like A Lot Of People Through The Rock 'n' Roll Bands In The Late '60s That Turned To Country Music, Like The Byrds And Buffalo Springfield, But Particularly Through The Byrds Because Of Gram Parsons, Roger Mcguinn And Chris Hillman (with Their 1968 Album Sweetheart Of The Rodeo). They Kind Of Introduced English Kids To Merle Haggard And George Jones And The Louvins (brothers Charlie And Ira).

I Started With Rock N' Roll And...then You Start To Take It Apart Like A Child With A Toy And You See There's Blues And There's Country...then You Go Back From Country Into American Music...and You End Up In Scotland And Ireland Eventually.
