#solo

I enjoy making solo albums because over the years it's evolved into more of a genuine personal expression of story-telling and day dreams, and I work in a way that has more control. ↗

When you have 13 horns, and one is soloing, you have 12 people to play the richest, fullest chord you could ever imagine behind that solo. ↗

I remember in the early days when we played six nights a week for a month and I was doing my long drum solo every night. My hands were covered in blisters. ↗

When I was 25, Abba was formed. After Abba I made three solo albums. Maybe I have been productive enough. ↗

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again and there's a certain musical virtuosity involved in it. ↗

I auditioned for a solo in church and got it. I was about seven and I sang a song called, 'Jesus, I Heard You Had a Big House' and I remember people standing up at the end and me thinking, 'Oh, I think I'm going to like this.' That's how it all began. Sounds funny to say you got your start in church, but I did. ↗

I did a lot of writing for a lot of different kinds of bands that I was in and out of during those five years and that left me with a little body of songs that I liked better when I played alone, so I ended up going out solo and very soon made my first album. ↗

People have become less discriminating listeners, which is tragic, really. There's a lot of emperor's new clothes out there, whether they're female or male solo acts. That bothers me. It's hard to break through, and it's like climbing Mount Everest if you actually do. ↗

Since I was the solo artist as well as the writer for the songs, I figured I had enough credits on it already. ↗

I had a number of very strong personalities in my family. My father was a concert flutist, the solo flute for Toscanini. ↗
