Jann Arden Loves Prose Writers from Frank McCourt to Henry Miller

Here is an interview excerpt with Canada's Jann Arden circa 2000 after the release of Blood Red Cherry. Jann is a natural wit, but one Saturday afternoon about 2 p.m. in Calgary "sitting at her kitchen table looking out into the abyss, on an endlessly cloud filled day, " her thoughts turned to the profound effect of music and the prose of William Shakespeare.

Your music touches people in a very profound way. I want to know who affects you like that.

Jann Arden: "It would mostly be writers … of prose – whether it’s Frank McCourt or Henry Miller. Just writers that sort of tap into that thing that you are talking about where you can really relate to what they are saying – and you feel like they are talking about your life."
