Or albums that you were maybe listening to or perhaps are important for you. Personally, I hear some Elvis Costello in the first song and one song sounds like Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams." I wondered what your take on that was.
Yeah, I would say Rumours was a big influence. This is weird, but it was something that I was listening to a lot: Hot Buttered Soul [Isaac Hayes' 1969 album]. "Hurt So Bad" was kind of a take on that. But I was thinking about classic musicians and bands. Another weird one was Blue Oyster Cult. I was listening to that and thinking, "Wow, this is awesome. I just want to make a badass rock album." And I think I kind of accomplished that.
