In Their Words: “A lot of my influence as a songwriter comes from torch songs. Keith Whitley sang a lot of them, like ‘I’ll Be Your Stepping Stone’ with J.D. Crowe & the New South. Songs of eternal pining for a love. ‘Who I Am’ is a torch song with a lot more brutal honesty to the torcheĆ©. I started playing this version supporting John Hiatt on the road in 2019. Itās as bare-bones as a song can get.” — Adam Chaffins
