"How I grew up had a huge impact on who I am as a person, the kind of music I make, and what I appreciate in life," Kitchell says. "It was this magical place in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by gorgeous landscape and acres and acres of land. One of my favorite things was to just go walking in the woods and write songs." "Herbie encouraged me as far as improvising goes and gave me the nod to go ahead and experiment," Kitchell says. "If he thinks I'm a good singer, that's a huge compliment and a pat on the back. It made me realize, `Okay, I can do this.' Each night he'd stretch out and improvise, and I'd stretch out and improvise. It was like this dance we did every night. And to do that with someone like Herbie Hancock makes you feel like you can do it with anyone." "I want people to feel excited when they hear the album," Kitchell says. "That ecstatic, elated feeling you get when something is so good that it makes you want to listen to it over and over again. I hope to create music that has as much of an effect on others as artists like Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Janis Joplin, and Leonard Cohen had on me. I know that's setting the bar very, very high - but that's my goal."
