A lot of the artists I listened to were male. I work with my voice. I practise using it, get to know it. Push it to the limit. This is kind of an exploring thing that I do.
Music is such a fun thing.
I grew up listening to eight-track tapes of Waylon Jennings, Charley Pride, Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, just everyone. In a recent interview you were quoted as saying that married bliss has made you softer and with less drive to press on. Also, it was reported that your husband would like to see youmore at home, perhaps bringing up children. And it's been a long time since I've done that, about five years I'd say. I've been touring and now it's time to ease off.
