Fred Eaglesmith Quotes

• There really are two different schools of songwriting-American and Canadian. It's interesting. You guys have this history of guys like Paul Williams and Jimmy Webb, and they're different than Neil Young and Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. All those weird voices come out of Canada. That's because it's so cold here we can hardly open our mouth. We get much less light in Canada. No wonder the writing's dark.

• Audrey Auld es una gran cantautora. Ocupa un lugar único en la música Americana/Roots contemporánea. Creo que esta singularidad se debe en gran parte al hecho de que es australiana. Esto le confiere una actitud como artista totalmente diferente a la de los contribuidores americanos tradicionales a este género. Audrey es una de las artistas originales más honestas que conozco.

• The music that I play is much more accepted in America. Do you know what I mean? Americans recognize and not necessarily country music. I go to a lot of places in Canada and they go "I don't like country music" and they think I'm a country musician. When I am a country musician but not a country musician like they think of.

• I wrote 'Millie's Cafe' driving out of Ft. Worth, Texas one time. I was in a dust storm in my old bus. Beer inside. It was like a sailboat, you know...we couldn't see anything. Some things about Texas are so different than Ontario. I was just thinking about how different it is from where I live and, you know, whatever happens to inspire a song happened.
