Let’s start with your new album. What has the reception been like?
It’s been tremendous. People love it. I haven’t had anyone who says they didn’t like it.
You just completed a short run through the U.K.
Yes. Very short. Just sort of warming up. I’ll be doing more dates later on in the year. … We were able to cover the album very well.
Were those the first live performances of material on the album?
Very much so. It’s still pretty much a work in progress, the live thing.
You’re still tinkering with the songs?
They do sort of develop. If you have a bunch of musicians playing, obviously things change a little bit. … I don’t think a live performance should be exactly the same as the recording. I like it to be a little different.
