I fall in love with songs all the time." - For the first track, "Black Coffee At Sunrise," Wilson read an article about Hank Williams, Sr. that stated how he would tour America in big Cadillacs, traveling from gig to gig, running them into the ground.  Then they would buy a new one.  They'd have a convoy.  "This was pre-Elvis.  I was thinking that Hank Williams, Sr. would be up all night trying to get to the next gig in his big Cadillac.  Those Fifties Caddys with the giant fins and huge trunks would hold all their gear.  I wrote this song, just thinking about what it would be like to tour with Hank."
