 Much of the album captures the early joy, optimism and wonder in my life when my wife and I were first dating and starting our life together (the cover art features a playful photo of us).
-Much of the recordings are whimsical, while at the same alluding to the tension of the world. Examples being “Greyhound” a traveling song written about a road trip to attend [[Dave Finley]]’s wedding that ended in a bus crash. Another song “All My Friends Kim” was a ridiculous song about our dear friend Kim Dozier and her best friend Kim (who then marries Dave) and their best friend Kim... who all hung out together which got kinda confusing.

 Other moments captured my serious side including “Shantytown” written about a brief time I spent living in the shanty towns of South Africa during apartheid. It spoke of the anguish I witnessed among the oppressed and challenged my spiritual faith in very meaningful ways.

 The album ends playfully with a collage of answering machine messages with an odd bunch of characters.
-So [[The Big Yellow]] documents a lot fun stuff early in my life including my faith and my marriage and my first artistic community. Although Sonic Hope, as a collective, was short lived, Mandy, John, and I continued to make records. And despite relative obscurity, eventually some of those releases fell into good ears. Victoria Williams joined me on my debut release, T-Bone Burnett cited John as one of his favorite all time songwriters, Mandy got to work with Joe Henry at one point. I remember I was traveling during those times and would get calls from Mandy and John telling me they were hanging out with Sam Phillips, Joe Henry at T-Bone’s place and, you know, you should just come over for a beer or something (way to rub it in)... But really more important than hobnobbing or anyone getting heard was the life long friendships that resulted from that collective along with our mutual growth as songwriters."
