"I didn't know Jim at the time," Starr tells, "but he and John had worked a lot together. John joked about how much fun they had writing together, late at night. John and I worked a little on the 'Jubilee' idea, long distance, and one day he called and said, 'Let's get Lauderdale over here and see what we can come up with.' I really saw that dynamic between those two.
"Since then, I've gotten to know Jim a little bit. It was great to have him there, and I was really lucky I was able to get them both in the room for a couple hours to get the video shot. That's no easy thing.", posthumously, was Starr's grandfather, author Fred Starr, and his 1972 novel The Head and the Heart
, he broached the idea of sending the book to a variety of writers to work up songs based on the story, and then turn that into an album. "The idea wasn't so much to retell the story in any way, just to draw on the images and the people and the places and the circumstances -- the human frailties represented by people in the book -- and write songs about them," explains Starr, who recordedat Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain's Addiction Sound Studios in Nashville. “[Oates] said, 'I love the idea,' and he claimed [writing about] a town in the book called Jubilee.
Though Starr is not an avid reader, he does feel a particular kinship with his grandfather as a fellow artist. "He wrote these books and took 'em to craft fairs and county fairs and distributed these himself in a way that's unlike what guys like me do now -- playing these coffeehouses and listening rooms and selling CDs off the edge of the stage," says Starr, who operates the Starr's Guitars store in Cedaredge, Colo.
