I haven't scoured Dixie out of my voice. But I don't think that the books that I have written... have really in any way been Southern in character.
So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience.
I can't think of any other region in the world which is such a vast source of fossils.
