Phil Walden signed me in 1993.
So I was on the label with, like, Government Mule.
I was with the Allman Brothers.
They were doing a record on Hank Jr.
They were doing a record on Lynyrd Skynyrd, this blues guy from Austin named Ian Moore.
They were doing it with Colonel Bruce Hampton and, yeah, and 311 at that time was on the label and me.
So it was really an eclectic, interesting time for me.
It also suited your taste, though, because you liked a lot of rock.
I loved that music so much.
And I was always drawn to lyrics with hard drums and rhythmic guitars, always.
But that was my first record label.
But we didn't have any hits on that.
But it was a lot like for me, and I didn't realize it at the time, but it was a lot like being in AAA baseball.
Looking back, it was just a huge educational experience.
