great female singers? It goes back to my son Jody. He has been work-
ing with me for about seven years and doing all the booking and managing. He has now gotten to where he really shines in the studio because he has heard the music all his life. He came up to me last year and asked about doing some duets. He wanted to know who I would want to do duets with, females. I named six off the top of my head. Everyone but Tina was available. I had most of the songs cut already as demos and the one Shelby and I had written was already down. It was moving so smooth and easy and was just meant to be. We came up with the name The Heroines. Part two will be the Heroes. We can have Joe Cocker and Ray Charles, etc. All of those recordeings, by the way, again, are one takes. Like , Emmylou came in and it was just me and her in the studio and took my voice out in the spots that I wanted hers and it sounded so good. It was in an old antebellum house here and the sound was so great. She sung it 3-4 times and then we went back and used the first one.

Was this the first time you recorded with your daughter? No, I had played guitar on a couple of her al-
bums. The first time on mine though. Then she came up a few months ago and did this unbeliev- able album here at the same studio in the old place, Jody was producing and I played the gui- tar, and we had a stand up bass and drums. For Michelle this will be like Tapestry was for Carole King. You know everyone has “the album” - any- way it is that good.We cut it all here except for mine. The Heroines we had to take the 16-track and flew to L.A. and get Lucinda. We went out there and it has all worked good. •
