“I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.”

Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do.
When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.
What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.
