Legendary bassist Kim Deal has already had a story career.

She was a founding member of the band The Pixies, the frontwoman for the Breeders.

But she's now moving into a new chapter as a solo artist at the age of 63.

Special correspondent Christopher Booker caught up with Deal before she kicked off a 25 city tour this month. It's part of our arts and culture series, Canvas.

The wooden steps that lead to Kim Deal's basement studio show all the harder markings that come with 35 years of foot traffic.

I got the house in 90 and I started, the breeders came down in 92. The Pixies had gotten some do little money,

like in advance or something. I don't even know how much it was now, but I was enough for me to pay

for a down payment on a house. After two albums as a founding member of the Pixies, Deal purchased this house and returned

to where she was raised.

And since then, this tiny, subterranean space in Dayton, Ohio, has served as the launchpad

for everything that came after.

First, it was the Breeders, the band that includes her twin sister Kelly, fellow Dayton, Ohio, and Jim McPherson, and bass player Josephine Wiggs.

I like all the different people. I like sticky everywhere.

Their breakout album, Last Flash, stands as one of the most important records of the 90s.

Later, came a brief side project with E the Fierc called the Amps.

And most recently, at 63 years old, her very first solo record.

Do you remember how old you were when you wrote your first song and more importantly, kind of what that felt like?

I remember the exact song that I wrote.

I was 15 and I was in my dad's room, bedroom, and he was finishing getting ready.

And I was brought my piece of paper and I sang my song that I wrote to him.

Yes.

And I know how it goes right now.
