I was enjoying that kind of writing so much. [On \u2018The Ghost Of Tom Joad\u2019 tour] I would go home to the hotel room at night and continue to write in that style because I thought I was going to follow up \u2018The Ghost of Tom Joad\u2019 with a similar record, but I didn\u2019t. That\u2019s where \u2018Inyo\u2019 came from.
