I was the bass, middle, and tenor guy. Any other producer would have twisted my arm to go with professionals, but that's why I wanted to work with Danny. He didn't have a problem with me running all over the record. Only I'm trying to use ordinary means to take you to an extraordinary place. As good as Sexton is on record, it's his live performances that have turned him into a budding legend in the folk world.
Most people see a guy and a guitar, and have a preconceived notion about what's going to happen.
But the main energy is between the audience and myself. All my life, I've been blessed with necessity. I started singing in the subways after I was fired from a job at a bakery cafe. That's also when I started writing songs. I needed a repertoire as opposed to covering Beatles tunes all my life.
