Casey James on Singing With Bret Michaels and Taking His Shirt Off on Tour
Have you started working on preparations for your album?
Yes, actually, I have. I’m really working on song selection and whatnot, because that’s going to be the most important thing. I just want to make sure I get right material out there.
Do you know what it’s going to sound like?
I want to do kind of like a crossover, you know, country-rock thing … I’ll have some acoustic stuff on there, slower stuff, [as well].
Do you plan to do any of the songs on it?
Yeah, I definitely want to. It’s just a matter of whether I have the right stuff, because I’ve written a ton of material, but if it’s not gonna work, I’m not force it to be on there.
