The former 1100 Springs singer says he wrote the songs for his latest album Glorietta by joining a songwriting group that required one new song a week.
When members of 1100 Springs went their separate ways two summers ago after 23 years of making music together, Matt Hillyer found himself with a kind of time and freedom he hadn't had in a long while.
"It sounds like a lot of pressure, but in some ways it took the pressure off," Hillyer says."You can do what you want to do. You don't have to write some magnum opus. You can try something new and get out of your comfort zone.
"One thing we could do is get in the car and drive to New Mexico and be somewhere pretty and quiet and peaceful and go hiking and just spend time with a change of scenery," Hillyer says."The song's not about her but it's definitely inspired and written about that trip we took to get out of Dallas and get to some place prettier and give ourselves a mental break from just being shut in our house.
Hillyer says keeping his songs on vinyl records is very important to him and not just because it's starting to finally outpace sales of CDs.
