Having been a fan of Dory Previn for many years, I am delighted to hear this interview. I am humbled by her openess and honesty and am very happy to hear she is living a rich and fulfilling life. A lot of todays artists, both the good and the not so good could lean a lot by listening to what Dory previn has to say.
This rare interview with Dory Previn affords a real insight into this songwriter's methods and material.
Ms Previn is not like any other writer in the music business; her fusion of the humourous, political, personal and very frank is unique and she is just as eloquent and original in this interview as she is in her lyrics. First and foremost, she has proven herself to be an artist (like too few others) who is not driven by commercial considerations so much as the art and craft that is so evident in all her work. This interview will a great resource for new listeners discovering her work for the first time now that it's quite widely available on CD and on the internet. It's a terrific treat for her fans too of course. I hope it will be available on line for a long time to come as it's been a long time coming.
