Um, Julian and I have been friends for a little while. And when the pandemic lockdown occurred, I texted her kind of out of the blue because I'd been thinking about making a country record for a while, but I didn't want to do it alone. And Julian was the first person I thought of because she's from Tennessee. I'm from Georgia. It just made sense.

Sure. Yeah, it's a little bit loaded. I mean, I grew up in the Baptist church, evangelical in Georgia. I struggled with it. When I left Georgia, I left the church proudly. Never went back. And dare I say, my relationship to what one might call God, source, energy, the supreme being, the divine.

It has only become a more intimate relationship actually as I've aged and I've just surrounded myself with a community of people that love me and that want me to be exactly who I am.

I mean, it's the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. You have maybe a gig that you're not, like, super stoked about. Yeah. And maybe you messed up a little bit, and you come home. That's true. And for me, it's usually after maybe a more extended thing, like a tour. And then I come home, and Sylvia is just... Oh, God, she's just, yeah, always the same. She's so loving. That's great. Precious.
