remember when Hunter Hayes was waiting for LB in front of his dressing room at the grammys? we never heard what happened, but:

here is LB-mentioning excerpt (wonder if it was Turner?):

Q. What did you want “Storyline” to capture that wasn’t as obvious on the first record?

A. I think I was looking for “Storyline” to get a bit more personal, more heart and soul. I wanted to go back in time to give it more depth. I wanted it to feel like it could have been an older record. One of the rules was no electronic drum sounds. Everything you hear is created from actual instruments. There’s a lot of tributes to the bluegrass I like — the mandolin, the three-part harmonies — and there’s a lot of guitar player references too. While making this record I really studied Lindsey Buckingham. In fact, during the process, I ordered a new guitar because it’s the one he plays.
