Q. You’ve talked about feeling like you have new options. What are some of those?

A. We could make a country album right now, and it would be awesome. We’re not going to, but I’m just saying we could. We could go to Stax or Muscle Shoals and make an album that’s pure unadulterated soul with a horn section and nobody would blink an eye. I could put out an acoustic, sort of Eddie Vedder “Into the Wild’’ sort of album and nobody would be surprised.

Q. Why not do it all?

A. I’m thinking about it. My brain is in motion toward a new record right now, and I don’t know what direction to take it. But I do know that there’s just so many possibilities now. I’m just going to follow this path that we’ve been paving. And it just keeps getting wider and wider. I’m just dreaming big.

Q. Well, you don’t get to play stadiums by dreaming small. Just ask Kenny.

A. Exactly. I didn’t get into this business to dream small and be reasonable.
