Wynn Christian’s interview~~SMB
Former band mate and co-writer of Seven Mile Breakdown, Wynn Christian, shares insight about the song and Taylor Hicks: "...we both shared a passion for music, which is how we hit it off in the first place. 'Passion' is probably an understatement, as we were pretty obsessed with the stuff we liked.

"That translated to our shows together and in each of our bands at the time. I really respect his taste in music, and I think he would probably say the same for me—but it’s been interesting to see those influences we studied—so hard—become a part of who we are as performers.

"'Seven Mile Breakdown' is actually a little over 10 years old. It was written while en route to a Spoonful [James] show in Cleveland, Mississippi. I had some phrases in mind by the time we arrived for the show, as I had been amazed by the flatness and desolation of the area. I was also completely inspired to be traveling through this area that I had read so much about and really revered. ...I finished up the song over a couple of weeks after the MS trip. ...it’s been one of our most popular songs both on record and live.

"We’re excited Taylor decided to record it, and even more excited that it’s being released as a single. He’s hit the 'high notes' on it quite a few times with us over the years, and I think his version of the song is great..." Wynn is a member of Spoonful James who will be in the recording studio in August. Read the entire Wynn Christian interview at: TTHC with Wynn Christian
