Will Oldham Interviews R. Kelly
"Well, I came up with my whole concept, man, and when I do concept albums, the entire vision comes with it. I like to go all out. I wanted the album to come in a love letter, like, a package, with my stamp on it. I wanted it to feel old-school. I wanted people, when they got it, to feel like they do when they got a letter—like it's personal." More at Interview.
