Finn called on legendary producer, Jacquire King, who has worked with Norah Jones, Kings of Leon and Tom Waits, and a studio band comprised of Joey Waronker (Beck/REM/Thom Yorke), Zac Rae (Beck/ThomYorke/Cold War Kids), Brett Adams (The Mockers/The Bads), Tony Buchen (Andy Bull) and Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle). He even co-wrote one song with one of Australia’s most well-respected and popular young songwriters, Megan Washington. Suite101 caught up with Tim Finn to talk about ‘The View is Worth the Climb’.
Suite101: What’s the main inspiration behind the new record?
Tim Finn: The main inspiration…I think I said once, friendship, disappointment, encouragement and love. Those are probably the main themes that are on the record. My wife – all my songs are always to do with my relationships with other people, whether it’s a partner or a friend or a child, so I’m still finding endless inspiration in those kinds of areas.
