He just loved to work. It was ingrained in his personality. He was happiest when he was working and I think that���s what made him so prolific. He was also smart and aware enough to see when he was on a roll. He made a lot of incredible albums in a very short amount of time ��� in just a few years. He knew he had to capture that 4-5 year span as he was really growing into his own as a master songwriter. I think he was afraid it���d go away as he���d seen with so many of his heroes; so he decided worked fast as he was on a clock. And to an extent that happened. His talent never disappeared, but I think there came a point where he had to work a little harder to expand his boundaries, to ���get there���. That probably happens in every profession, and I think its a real challenge when musicians are faced with that.
