THE JOHNNY SHENKS BAND.
THANK YOU FOR COMING IN HERE.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
>> YOU 4@GREW UP IN TEXAS.
THE MELTING POT.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU
STARTED MUSIC.
>> 4@I HATED COUNTRY AS A KID A
I THINK IT TOOK ME TIME TO FIND
THE COUNTRY THAT I GREW UP WITH
AND LOVE IT.
>> WHAT WAS IT THAT FINALLY
BROUGHT YOU BACK TO THAT?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
IT WAS A GRADUAL PROGRESSION, I
THINK. 4@
I THINK I STARTED 4@LISTENING T
SOME REALLY GREAT SONGWR4@ITERS
THAT WEREN'T QUITE COUNTRY.
BUT WERE MORE AMERICANA.
AND I JUST STARTED SHIFTING AND
SHIFTING AND I GOT THERE
EVENTUALLY.
>> OBVIOUSLY, YOU 4@LOVE AND
REVERE JOHNNY CASH.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT HIS MUSIC 4@AN
HIS PERSONA THAT RESONATES SO 4@
WITH YOU?
>> WELL, HERE'S A STORYTELLER.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT GETS 4@
THE MOST IS THE FACT THAT YOU
KNOW, HE STARTS AN 4@ENTIRE TAL
IN THE SONG.
AND LEARNING THOSE LYRICS FOR
THIS NEXT SHOW HAS BEEN REALLY,
REALLY DIFFICULT.
BUT YEAH, I THINK THAT'S IT.
IT'S A STORY.
>> THERE ARE DIFFERENCES,
OBVIOUSLY, BETWEEN TEXAS AND 4@
MAINE.
AND YOU MOVED HERE ABOUT SEVEN
YEARS AGO.
YOU WERE SAYING -- 4@ARE THOSE
DIFFERENCES REPRESENTED IN YOUR
WRITING?
>> YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, THERE'S SO MUCH TALENT
HERE.
AND I -- WE CAN ALL HOLD A
CANDLE TO EACH OTHER, I
SUPPOSE.
SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF
THERE'S MUCH DIFFERENCE.
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN SPEECH
FOR SURE. 4@
YOU KNOW. 4@
>>> THE RIGHT 4@ACCENT IS THE
CORRECT ONE.
KEEPING IT ALL IN MIND.
AGAIN, YOU GUYS4@ ARE AT EMPIRE
IN PORTLAND, SATURDAY NIGHT,
WITH A TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY CASH.
