“I think ‘I Need a Woman’ is a fitting introduction to the new stuff. I’m having trouble keeping these songs to myself. This is just a taste of what’s coming this fall."
His inspiration for this song? The “High Priestess of Soul,” Nina Simone.
“‘I Need a Woman’ is pretty straightforward. It’s one of the older songs from this bunch. I wrote it right after my second record was released back in February 2012. I remember sipping Sambuca and listening to Nina Simone. The hook came and the rest just fell into place,” he explained.
“There’s nothing deep and dark about it. I was just trying to keep warm on a really cold night.”
