Matt's Monday Mailbag

Thanks for the questions! Here are a few of them...

Bobby Dyckman asks:

Q: When you write your songs do you usually write lyrics or music first?

A: Well, I don't really have a formula for how I write a song every time. Sometimes I start with a melody, sometimes a lyric, and sometimes some music. I always carry a recorder around with me because different melodies and lyrics often come to me when I'm not thinking about songwriting at all, but when I'm just doing something else. I've even written a couple of songs where I start with the title and work from that. Good songwriting isn't a science.

Matt's Monday Music: Wilco

Submitted by Matt Hires
on October 03, 2011

Since 2005, the band Wilco, from Chicago, has been one of my top 5 favorite bands. For me, they were one of those bands that I always heard about, but it took me a while to actually give them a listen. Then once I tried them out, it took me a while to actually get into them. Most of their music doesn't really grab you at first listen. But once I really started listening and digging into their songs, I was hooked. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Summerteeth are two of my favorite records of all time. If you've never listened to them, do it! But start with Summerteeth, and give it time.
