Allan_Reed Interview
A Few Minutes With Allan_Reed

Why do you write songs?
Songwriting totally engages and energizes me. Having it as an outlet has truly enhanced my quality of life. It's who I am and I have so much fun doing it.

Who are your main influences?
My Mom shared the gift of music with me at a young age, so I have to say a special thanks to my Mom for introducing me to music and she has always been my biggest supporter and fan. THANKS MOM!!!! My Mom also went to high school with Darryl Staedtler (he wrote "A Fire I Can't Put Out" which went #1 for George Strait) I had the privilege of working with him for a time and he taught me so many great things about the craft of songwriting. His words still come to mind everytime I work on a song. I owe him so much...

Who's your favorite songwriter and why?
There are so many great writers it is very hard to say. I am blown away by Patty Griffin's writing on "Living With Ghosts." I've always been drawn to the songs of Percy Mayfield...At times I have found myself liking a song and having no idea who wrote it only to find out later that it was Percy. Working in Austin I have to say Willie Nelson...I love his free spirit and I saw Kris Kristofferson, Sonny Throckmorton, and Freddy Powers recently and they are all awesome!

How would you describe the type of music you primarily write?
Country comes naturally to me since I grew up in small town Texas, but I tend to translate a large portion of my up tempo songs through the blues. My other ballads and more free-style songs range from R&B to alternative.

How would you describe your music and the kinds of songs you write?
Many are country blues. My uptempo songs are rebel country with a rockabilly feel. Sentimental love songs and ballads.

What's your favorite song that you've written to date?
No favorite.

What's your ultimate goal with regards to your songwriting (e.g., successful performing songwriter, staffwriter, etc.)?
Successful songwriter first and foremost. I plan to continue to perform my own songs as well as play blues.

What's your favorite quote?
"Against the assault of humor nothing can stand." - Mark Twain

What's up next for Allan_Reed ?
A full course load at SongU!!!

Where do you see yourself in five years?
Loving life and writing songs
