"CHEAPER THAN FREE" Dave Stewart Interview Includes Much Longer Song Clip.

Check this out!... Get to know a little bit of history on Dave Stewart... PLUS there's a much longer clip of "Cheaper Than Free" than what's on The Blackbird Diaries website... I'm liking what I hear.. Sounds really great!... This interview was recorded last fall when he was in Nashville.

"What's faster than a fast car

A beating heart

What's deeper than a deep well

The love into which I fell

More important than freedom

Being needed

More exciting than high fashion

High passion!"

It's the version that's on Dave's album (he called it the country version), which sounds as if there's an alternate version that'll be on Stevie's album.  He also tells the story about where the song title came from.  

Dave's album The Blackbird Diaries is due out in May.
