You're right, he might have said it because of people like me, for I have never expected Robert to do an album like Raising Sand.
But I wish he'd have played more of his solo work, pre SS, I mean, as I saw him in Berlin, back in 2005. But I can tell I went completely nuts as he sang LZ tunes.....it's his wagon, I hope he rides it whenever he feels like, with the ones he feels like.
