about

Seven years ago my friend Andy Thomas told me that if I ever needed help making a record, he would be willing to underwrite one. I made two others before calling him and asking if the offer still stood. He said absolutely and pulled out his checkbook and we got started.
People who are willing to give artists a lot of money to produce things without any prospect of return—other than to see or hear what gets created—do it for different reasons. Andy told me he did it because: “I wanted more people to hear what you do and I wanted to take some pressure off you so that you could make that happen.”
It took over a year to finish, but here is Code to Live By, my fourteenth record:.

I have no illusions about how high this ball is going to bounce. At this point in my life there are no songs I can write or records I can make that are going to change the arch of my career. Which is liberating. And this record, I feel, reflects that liberation. It wasn’t made with an eye on anything. We made it with our eyes closed.
