I went at it like a novelist who sits at home, drinks whiskey, and pounds on his typewriter. When it comes time to write, it s people s histories that inspire me, especially the darker side. The dark side of life is what adds character to things. Especially people with thick skins, who ve been through a lot and stuff just rolls off em. Even if they re not in a great place, they re still surviving.
Places are that way, too.
There are ghosts all over the place if you look for em. To me, the music is more about the stories and the people than some little rhyming poem. For Chris Knight, the music is about the people and whether they re truth or fiction, they re his friends. Not so much because they re honorable, but because they re honest about who and what they are. Liddell and co-producer Greg Droman set out to make a debut as true and as strong as the writer s own voice.
