about

Bob Dylan recorded his entire Another Side of Bob Dylan album in one night. I always thought that was so cool, so I decided to record New Hub City in one epic session. He made his album at a friend's apartment in Paris. I had recorded mine at my Stephen's Square apartment in south Minneapolis.

At the time I made this album I was busking on the streets of downtown Minneapolis in order to buy my groceries. It was really hard work and I got pretty bitter (whether that bitterness was justified, I know not, but that's how I felt at the time in those circumstances). But the album mostly turned out upbeat, I'd say.

I was also thinking a lot about Woody Guthrie at the time I made this one. Of all the albums I've made, this is the one which sounds the most like traditional American folk music, probably because I ripped off so many old folk songs in the process of writing it.
