“Well, with the music, you’re passionate about it. It’s like you’re hungry for something. In the beginning I was just kind of a Joan Baez copier, and I didn’t really have a style of my own. It wasn’t until I met and started working with a fellow named Gram Parsons, who kind of brought country and rock music together.”
