2&2: One thing that your fans love about you is that with every album you seem to evolve musically. Is that intentional on your part or is it just the natural progression for you? ** Jim Ward: we try to grow as we go on, it is really my mission in life to be a good song writer, I enjoy the process so much, each record is a reflection of the years in between the last one
2&2:You guys have made some big changes since your last album, so we have a couple questions about that. Keeley Davis had some pretty big shoes to fill, how did hook up with the group? And what has he brought to the mix? ** Jim Ward:we knew Keeley from his old band, engine down, he came in and totally gave a new brightness to the band, he is a great guy and an amazing writer, he has really helped me grow as a writer as well, he has brought a new layer to the sound for sure.
