With the new record, we really want to get out there. I'm really having a blast. The band I've got is just fantastic, so I want to get out there and enjoy it.

That was a point where I dug a little bit back to some of the blues stuff. I worked with some fantastic people. Scotty Moore, Elvis' guitarist, played with me on a couple of records, and we also had the Memphis Horns. Those were good days, but everything's got to end. It was time to do other stuff.

We did two records and cut some good songs, but I don't know why we didn't last. We were insane. We were like, what, 24 years old at the time. We just moved on, I guess, which is the nature of the business.

There's definitely a new generation of fans out there coming out to hear us play.

We really made a mark with the Stray Cats. We made some really great records that really stood the test of time.

That was something that was fun to do. My whole thought, in general, is to put my own stamp on things and not be walking over the same ground again. So I wouldn't have done that song again if I didn't think I could do something really different with it.
