INTERVIEW

TOM ODELL

JUST BEFORE HE STARTED HIS US TOUR, WE MET UP WITH SINGER-SONGWRITER

DU JOUR, TOM ODELL, TO TALK ABOUT SONGWRITING, BELOVED COVERS

AND GLASTONBURY. WE’RE HUGE FANS OF HIS MUSIC AND WE KNOW HE’S

A FAN OF ROLAND DIGITAL PIANOS TOO BECAUSE HE’S GOT AN FP-80

AND AN LX-15 IN HIS ONSTAGE ARSENAL.

ROLAND: What keeps touring interesting?

L TOM: Doing a lot of writing is keeping touring interesting

for me at the moment.

ROLAND: Do you ever get to see much of the city you're

in? I know you don't have much time there, but do you

ever go out and see stuff?

TOM: Yeah, I try. But I think if you try doing that too much,

you end up killing yourself. It's just like permanently being

on holiday. But I try to see some of the places, yeah.

ROLAND: So when you do so much writing on tour, are

you inspired by travelling on the road?

TOM: I think I get inspired by other things, touring is a

very extreme situation where you have no sleep and

then you have these massive highs along with these

massive lows and I think it makes for good song writing.

Because it's dramatic you know.

ROLAND: But when you actually start writing a song,

does it normally come from a few chords that you put

together, or is it lyrics, or...?

TOM: It's always different. Sometimes it comes from a

musical place, sometimes it comes from something I've

read or watched, or thought, or written down. It's always

different. The most important thing is to be ready for when

it comes and to feel like I can facilitate an inspiration.

ROLAND: What's your favourite cover to play?

L TOM: We’ve covered a song called Oh! Darling

by The Beatles. We just did it in New York actually, a

couple of nights ago, with this huge band.

And, it's just great...it's one of my favourite Beatles

songs. It's just a great song to play live. We often play

it live; I can't stop playing it live.

ROLAND: And your favourite cover that anyone else

has done?

L TOM: Probably Cry Me a River by Joe Cocker. It's quite

a classic answer, but if anyone has never listened to

Mad Dogs and Englishmen by Joe Cocker, that is the

album you should all listen to.

Let that be a lesson to you (points his nger at the camera):

Mad Dogs and Englishmen by Joe Cocker, Leon Russell

playing piano, it's the most incredible live album that's

ever been made. That, or 17-11-70 (Elton John). Listen to

those albums! And live albums are amazing.

ROLAND: Do you still listen to vinyl yourself?

L TOM: Yeah, but it's difcult to transport a vinyl record

player around.

ROLAND: So do you wait until you get home?

L TOM: ...try to get that through immigration, it causes

many arrests.

ROLAND: Are you picking records up while you are still

on the road?

L TOM: Not really no. I just don't have enough space. But

I do listen to a lot of music on the road, as much as I can.

ROLAND: What new stuff are you listening to at the

moment?

L TOM: Well, I just bought that London Grammar record.

I thought that was really cool. The new Arctic Monkeys...

ROLAND: So, if you could pick a dream Glastonbury-

headliner, who would you pick?

L TOM: I would pick David Bowie at Glastonbury.

ROLAND: Do you think that's likely to happen?

L TOM: I don't think it's as unlikely as people think but, I

don't know, maybe I'm wrong. I'd pick David Bowie, I'd

pick... does it matter if they are dead or alive?

I'd throw in Robert Schumann. He was a German

composer who died two hundred years ago. But
