The words of @DonovanWoods are wise counsel for any songwriter: "A good song asks questions rather than provides wisdom," and "When I have writer's block, it's because I'm not reading enough." Loved having him on the pod! songwritersonpodcast.com/donovan-woods/

"The more I read, the more chance I have to get inspired because I’m opening myself up to language. It all comes in, and it all shows up in my writing." Loved having Benmont Tench @tompetty on the pod! songwritersonpodcast.com/episodes/belmo…
