Bluegrass is really a big part of my background.
You left me for a dream you had to follow, but I thought goodbye wouldn't last that long.
When they talk about music getting in your blood, I understand exactly what they're talking about, because that is me.
The biggest cause of divorce is marriage.
Please tell me you will remember, no matter how much I do wrong that I had the best of intentions all along.
People look at you, and they've got just the perfect little box for you, the perfect category. Call you a redneck. Call you a hillbilly. Like those were insults.
Just because I'm country music don't mean I don't have a little bit a' soul down in there somewhere.
It's the same old story you've heard a thousand times. Somebody's trust gets broken. Somebody's left behind.
It's a great day to be alive. I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes.
If you're gonna sing, sing loud.
I've been writing on my own. It's like Roger Miller used to say, every now and then, like a dog having puppies, you have to crawl under the house and do it yourself.
I've been very fortunate to have had the opportunities to have the career I've had.
I'm a member of a country club, country music is what I love.
I simply find that as a songwriter, my goal is to try to move people. And I feel that before I can move other people, I have to genuinely be able to move myself.
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around.
I know what it takes to put a record together, so I'm not looking for people to come in and shape it.
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares.
A woman warm and willing is what I'm looking for, cause the whiskey ain't working anymore.
A little bit South you've got Macon, Georgia - home of the Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band and Capricorn Records. And off to west you've got Delta blues. Sprinkle Southern gospel over the top of that, and you're talking about where I came from. I loved all of that music.
I liked experimenting with a lot of different styles. So, it always saddens me when I see young people, or even older people for that matter, who are limited to one specific type of music. They don't really allow themselves to experience so many types of music out there that are so wonderful to listen to. And there's good parts and bad parts, I guess, to all of them.
The determination and enthusiasm of the Category 5 team makes it the perfect home for my music as I embark on this next stage of my career. The promotional savvy and level of support they've pledged meets or exceeds anything I've seen from the major labels I've been associated with.
