#record company

I produce the records. I don't hand over control to some really expensive producer who then talks to the record company and then tries to bend me to their will - for commercial purposes. ↗

People weren't buying as many records. My record company did not want me. I went through three record companies, went on tour at the wrong time. It destroyed me. ↗

I don't think the record company is aware of it. Because they just bury my albums and don't release them. ↗

Don't give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen. ↗

I didn't need to borrow money from the record company, because if I had my own publishing company, and I had my own writers, I'd have enough to get and do whatever I wanted to do. ↗

I certainly have gotten caught up in the music business at various times in my life, mostly because you want to get along with whatever record company you're dealing with. I don't want to be flaky. I don't want to be some temperamental, hard-to-work-with musician. ↗

That's my favorite subject because it really levels the playing field for artists these days. You don't have to sell out to the record company. You don't have to get a five hundred thousand dollars, or whatever, and pay them back for the rest of your life to record a record. ↗

It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the song. The record company can only do so much. ↗

Our managers hadn't had that kind of success - the record company hadn't, we hadn't - and the feeling was that the next record had to be even bigger, and if it wasn't it would be some kind of failure. ↗

If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road. ↗
