Country music has become the music that best represents the reality of American life.
This is real, this is your life in a song...this is country music.
... there are a lot of shredders in country music - Redd Volkaert, Brent Mason, Dan Huff .. and guys like that
Pilgrims travel to Jerusalem to see the Holy Land, and the foundations of their faith. People go to Washington, D.C. to see the workings of government, and the foundation of our country. And fans flock to Nashville to see the foundation of country music, the Grand Ole Opry.
I try to write like the writers I admire - I rip them off in form. It comes from George Strait and Merle Haggard records, and country music in general is really good at that, the twisted phrase... So Im always looking for that angle in my own work.
