The Decade box chronicles the ten-year period after I moved to New York City in the mid-nineties. It's the decade where I caught air, to use a sports metaphor. I wrote more songs, made more albums and toured more than any period before or since. Maybe it was the excitement and energy of living in a new city--I'd always been in love with Manhattan and it was a "pinch me" period where I couldn't believe I was finally living here. I went out constantly, fully embraced the city and nightlife and sights and sounds and that excitement came out in the music. It was that thing that writers always dream about, that state where you can barely keep up with all the ideas you're having. I didn't have time for writer's block. I was just a stenographer to the muse that wouldn't leave me alone or let me slow down.
Recently I came across a box of cassettes, DATs and reels of tapes from that period and went to my friend Steve Rosenthal who used to own the Magic Shop studio in the city. He has been focusing his attention on archives like mine and had actually just finished doing a similar thing for Laurie Anderson and the tapes that Lou Reed had left behind. Steve painstakingly transferred everything I'd found and I was surprised how many demos and songs I had forgotten about. He ended up transferring and cataloguing about 100 hours of tape.
Pat Thomas and I had worked together over the years on reissues and special projects and collections of my material. He knows more about my history and has always been free with his opinions of what he likes and what he doesn't like--aided by the fact that he's done plenty of great reissues and is also a musician and recording artists and has released plenty of great records himself as a solo artist and as the leader of the band Mushroom.
He felt that documenting this entire period--released material, outtakes, bonus tracks and also these embryonic sketches--would make an interesting portrait of not only my career and a really fertile period but also a look at the creative process in progress, the road from raw idea to band interpretation to the final, fully realized state.
Pat and I got together at the Sportsman's Lodge motel in Burbank for a multi-day listening session and went through the entire archives with plenty of coffee and snacks and had a two-man version of the Gong Show with my history. A track would come on and we'd (okay, mostly Pat) would say "That's great!" or "Dump it!" We sifted down to the best stuff, the tracks that told the story and ended up with enough for an 11-CD box set.
This is the most extensive and focused collection of my music anyone's ever released and I'm proud and also grateful to Real Gone Music for allowing me to tell the story of a particularly prolific period in my life and the creative process in such a lovely, deluxe package. I hope everyone digs it.
Compilation The Emusic Singles Collection and the European set Pick of the Litter – not to mention the 57 (***) unreleased tracks within – the Decade box set promises to be the definitive word on Wynn’s solo output. It’s all been compiled and sequenced by Wynn himself, alongside archivist and box set producer Pat Thomas.
