because I didn’t want to do the
Indigo Girls, it was more like
when I see the Indigo Girls aren’t
going to be doing something
that’s when I’ll fit in a solo record. I think some of it was writing wise, we needed some time
to write and more time than usual, and that is what happened.
We do have an agreement
with each other that we don’t
do things until we’re both ready
and we always try to balance career and family and sanity, and
that’s always been the case. We
don’t want to make a record just
for the sake of it. We want to be
into it and do the best we can
and evolve and keep creating
and meeting new people and
growing. We know we could
play “Closer To Fine” and “Galileo” and it would be fine, but we
want to be the band you want to
hear a new song from. I know
the old songs are always going
to be important to people and
I appreciate that, but I love it as
a fan when I go to see a musician play that I want to hear new
music from. It means something
to me if that musician is so inspiring to me that I want to hear
what they’re creating now.
