Chris Isaak on collaborative songwriting: ‘Like taking your clothes off in front of strangers’
Q: What made you record most of your new album in Nashville?
A:
I’m friends with Stevie Nicks, and she did an album called “24 Karat Gold” that I heard and I thought it really sounded great. She said, “Yeah, Nashville.” I thought, well, you’re Stevie Nicks, you’re a legend, you go wherever you want. But I thought that would be expensive. I should have known better. I’ve played Nashville and been there and had friends there. But I thought of Nashville as only country music. I started looking at the songs I had written and I was wondering, “Are they going to look at me and say this isn’t country enough for us to produce?”
