"One day en route to work, I was trudging up some subway steps when an impatient lady behind me grumbled something about "all the slowpokes." I thought, "It's the slowpokes who need the lovin'" and that turned into the song "Comfort You Up". "Slowpokes" as the new album title fits in a bunch of ways: although I've been singing and writing songs since I was a kid, it took me until my early 30s to actually stand up in front of people with a guitar; and making my first album (Land Of My Baby) took a couple of years.
Certain things can be pretty sweet when you let them bloom to their full potential."
