BLACK LIPS: NOT PURE COUNTRY BY ANY MEANS, BUT THEIR INTERPRETATION OF IT

Written by ROB DUGUAY Posted February 21, 2020 Filed Under: Interviews, MUSIC

"My songs mostly come out of experience or someone’s experience that’s close to me. A lot of my songs are stories or they bear some weight that comes from my life. I’m not that creative of a person, so I have to take it from real life, and I know a lot of weird characters from living all over the world and being around a bunch of them."
