If
you're listening to Martin Sexton's Seeds
and occasionally find yourself confused by the lyrics, don't
despair.
The
2007 album, Sexton's first non-live-performance, non-holiday album
since 2000's Wonder Bar,
was made differently from his previous work.
"This
was the first record I ever did where I didn't have everything
written, lyrically, when I was making the record - the first record
I didn't do live, basically," he said in a recent phone
interview. "I had the music, and I'd have, say, the chorus of a
song, but I didn't have the lyrics. So I figured if I make the
record, that'll be the little flame under my feet to finish the
tunes."
