Frontman Chris Robinson recalled the writing of the first Crowes' album as being the last time he was able to create anonymously: ["Yeah, I was writing songs about things that I knew, but I was also writing things about things that I would have thought. Whether they'd be — any of the themes — whether they'd be relationships, or lifestyle, drugs, or whatever. And I wrote those songs in the privacy of not having an audience to where no one connected anything to the person I am, and what that means to someone else."] SOUNDCUE (:26 OC: . . . . to someone else)
