No, if it was up to me every record would be brand new studio material but Atlantic records asked me to put out a full live record because my tour really did do well last year.

Without my morning coffee I'm just like a dried up piece of roast goat.

The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.
