hey, norm--
i mostly just pay attention to all that thumping in the background!
actually it would be nearly impossible for me to pick out just one lyric.
one thing that still amazes me about him is his ability to join the perfect feeling between lyric and musical intent.
his solo records are always more of a surprise to me because i'm pretty much only involved (if at all) in just playing on them when i come in -- not songwriting, or anything else.
two of the tracks, that to me, have a perfect marriage of music and lyric are "boomtown" and "chicken crosses the road."
there are too many to name!

Chicken is one that hits me too..... That was my first TST solo project I ever heard, my kids really dig the whistling on "Ten Gallon Hat"
"C'mon Dad , play that again.."

I'm going to give those two songs a good listen tonight, on the ol' JW disc, to see what you mean.
Here is another qeustion i've been meaning to ask you for a while:
With some of the greatest albums made, sometimes the artist will say that they didn't realize how good it was while they were making it. For instance, when Dylan took the Garammy for "Time Out of Mind", he mentioned something like (major paraphrase) "We didn't really realize what we had with this project when we were making it."
Is there a project, with Terry, that you've worked on, where you really didn't realize just how good the project was until after it was released, or maybe even until after some time later?

HEMI--ok, since you brought that back up -- "chicken,"-- and i have no idea if anyone else had this reaction, or maybe will just think i'm nuts,-- had such an impact on me when i first heard it in it's completed form.
(obviously, when you're recording, you hear things in bits and pieces, no matter if you're the producer or whomever, until it's really finally put together.)
(after playing on it, i heard the final product, quite a while later, in a hotel room at cornerstone with terry.)
when i heard the final song, it nearly made me cry -- something that i can't even really articulate, about terry's capture of the nature of the possible extent of the love of Christ?
i played on it, i talked to terry about it, and i'm still not exactly sure, but something about it really moves me.

I hear you man.
With me I was just introduced to TST solo stuff and I spent an evening in my living room with "John Wayne" and the words while listening to every track. I replayed "Chicken" I don't know how many times...
A while later I made a CD with artists whom I deem "Less than Mainstream" for my own personal "Quiet times" and that song was included , along with others from the likes of Mike Roe (Ache Beautiful) , Prayer Chain (Sky High) ,The Choir (Merciful Eyes) and others. Songs that can actually make me shed a tear they are so powerful...

Now I can't wait to go upstairs and hear that one! One last question along the same lines:
Many people here have the same analysis of the Darn Floor Big Bite album, which is, that it sounds weird at first, but then it just kind of grows on you, and then one day you're saying "this thing is a masterpiece!"
So, my question is, what was your feeling when making the DFBB album, compared to your feeling when soaking in the finished prodcut? Did you realize what a great work was being made at the time?
Everything seems to fall together so magically on DFBB. Wouldn't you agree?

Unfortunatly that is the one disc I don't have..I just have about 8 songs I got from other sources...Can't wait 'till that one see's the light of day as a "Real" release......complete with bonus tracks..

norm-- all i can tell you is that it's a passionate blur when the recording is going by, no matter what record. you don't really know anything until you put the (record/cassette/cd) in. who knows. the entire thing is still mysterious to me to this day.
