Di deguito una breve nota scritta da Dee in riferimento
al nuovo album:
I was born in Cleveland Ohio. This album is very much about
the street I grew up on. Where The Earlie King ruled without
mercy. And Bobby Slot and Freddy Weiss invented the Dance
of Diminishing Possibilities. I left for New York in 1972 and
eventually became a musician. I was good at the sacred and
I was good at the profane but I could never get the hang of
anything in between and I went from the street to the church
to the street again and then I stopped. I found myself back in
Cleveland and began to write songs. And then I stopped writing
songs. I thought I had said everything I had to say and there was
nothing left to say so I simply stopped. And then I remembered
Bobby Slot and Freddy Weiss and my own father and all the little
ghosts that lived with us and I realized that there was something
left to say after all. The inside is bigger than the outside, more
important, and less destructible. "Many mansions" and all that.
Kingdom of god. I love everybody --- Dee
