Trevor McSpadden and Mary Cutrufello hold each other with a high level of mutual respect. You can hear it in their stories, jokes, and when sharing their creative process. Individually, they represent songwriting forces and storied histories that converged with their Texas pasts. It came full circle for Tom when he learned that even highly talented and skilled musicians are fans of other artists. That lightbulb-moment offers a great insight to how artists are driven to create, develop and collaborate, and thankfully possible that even the best musicians are not above admiring and appreciating other artists – for the love of not just good but great music.
